Based on various face-to-face and offline email discussions I would like to propose the following Charter for MORG: ===================== The IETF Message Organization extensions Working Group will work on IMAP extensions that improve clients' ability to find messages or groups of messages in an IMAP mailstore. As a secondary goal, the WG will design its extensions so as to minimize client/server round trips and bandwidth overhead. In particular the Working Group is chartered to finalize and publish the following IMAP extensions as proposed standards: (a) A SORT extension specifying new sort criteria for header fields containing email addresses. This extension will be based on draft-karp-morg-sortdisplay-00.txt. (b) A SEARCH extension specifying new search criteria for header fields containing email addresses. (c) A LIST extension for returning STATUS information in LIST responses. This extension will be based on draft-melnikov-imapext-status-in-list-00.txt. (d) An extension that formalizes a way to return message counters by message context using STATUS and SEARCH commands. (e) An extension that specifies Internet-search-engine-like searching. Such searches would be more flexible (and less formally defined) than substring-based searches, and may return their results in a significant order. They may include "relevance" scores or similar information that could be useful to the user. (f) New collation algorithms such as "ignore whitespace" and "numeric, ignoring punctuation". The WG group will determine which collations are needed, taking into consideration the needs of the protocols that use the collation framework. (g) An extension that allows searching for messages within a message thread. This extension will be based on draft-gulbrandsen-imap-inthread-03.txt. (h) An extension that allows searching of multiple mailboxes at the same time (based on draft-melnikov-imapext-multimailbox-search-03.txt), or of multiple mailbox views. The WG will determine which approach (mailboxes or views) is more suitable as part of its work. Additional documents may be added this list, but only via a charter revision. There must also be demonstrable willingness in the IMAP development community to actually implement a given extension before it can be added to this charter. Revising or replacing the base IMAP4rev1 specification (RFC 3501) is out of the scope of this WG. This WG will ensure that all extensions it proposes take into account any existing problems in the base specification of IMAP, and do not make them worse nor make them problems harder to address in the future. _______________________________________________ MORG mailing list MORG@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/morg Note Well: http://www.ietf.org/maillist.html
