We met with IOLA on Aug 21. They indicated that they were still 
backlogged and intended to start late Sep/ early Oct. I have a query out 
to IOLA for an update.

We had a kick-off call for the review tool improvement project with 
DashCare on Aug 19. The developer is off to a quick start with many 
improvements already committed, showing a quickly obtained and very 
solid understanding of the datatracker overall.

Akayla had a slow start on the IRSG balloting project, but is now making 
regular progress. We expect the project to be substantially complete 
before IETF106 in November.

The www project got a lot of attention from me this month, with a 
release (v0.9.7) that moved the IESG statement to live under the IESG 
pages instead of with the blog pages.

The site also had some significant performance issues that took time to 
diagnose and address. While diagnosing, we identified several major 
changes that need to be made to the way the website currently serves 
blog pages. These are being tracked at 
https://github.com/ietf-tools/wagtail_website/issues (in particular 
issues 10 and 11) and will be addressed in upcoming releases. Greg will 
be entering several other requests (including analytics integration) as 
issues soon.

This has mostly been going well. The questions and change requests are 
showing convergence, and I think we're ready to go.

That said, there was a memory-exhaustion issue noted last night with 
rfc-xmldiff. Glen and SoaringHawk are discussing it. I expect it will be 
addressed quickly.

This is deployed at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/beta/errata.

We will be working at adding links from the datatracker to it (when 
appropriate) in the next few weeks.

This, and the rest of Yangcatalog development is proceeding, and quickly 
given the LOE (1.5 day/week) we have from the current contractor.

The architecture of the containerized yangcatalog project improved 
significantly this month, addressing several places where we were 
exposing network interfaces that we didn't need to.

We're trying using a github project to visualize progress on the 
yangcatalog project. It's available at 
https://github.com/orgs/YangCatalog/projects/1. For work on 
containerization only, filter the results to 
https://github.com/orgs/YangCatalog/projects/1?card_filter_query=repo%3Ayangcatalog%2Fdeployment

The automatic agenda builder SoW should go out for bids.
