Thanks; it’s a little of both I think.

The Dispatch WG has some procedural information in its group page at https://wiki.ietf.org/en/group/dispatch (although it needs updating). But when I go to wiki.ietf.org and click on Group Index, I get information about leadership groups and areas but not individual working groups. It doesn’t seem like much of a group index.

Is there some way to create a real index of working groups that have pages on the wiki so that they’re discoverable? I’m not sure if this a tools issue (needing a way to automatically enumerate the pages below a certain point in the hierarchy) or a content issue (needing to manually enumerate the groups on the groups page, or use some enumeration feature that may already exist).
