[Tools-discuss] Re: [rfc-i] Re: Demo of the Rfc-Editor website at IETF 124

Robert,

Thanks for putting this together. I took an initial look and I've found some
issues and wanted to get a sense of how best to engage. In particular,
when I click on the GitHub link to report issues [0] I see that there are
only
three open issues, but there are other things missing that it seems the
team
knows about. For instance this appears on the errata page:

There are also other things that don't seem to work but are not flagged
with
TODOs (e.g., missing errata on RFCs which have errata). Is there some
project plan or issues list etc. that we can refer to to see what is
supposed to
work and what is known not to?
