Re: Updating resource website for IETF chairs

[Greg Wood <[e-mail]>]

Hi Glenn and Dhruv,

Thanks for the good suggestions!

I’ll take the MD guide idea forward and coordinate with the Tools team on that, and share here when a first cut has been posted.

Any templates you (or anyone!) use for Notes and Agendas (and other WG materials) that are useful would be gratefully accepted. I’m happy to take those directly and merge them into a shared resource for the chairs.ietf.org site.[1] 

-Greg

[1] the WG session planning spreadsheet linked from the chairs.ietf.org site is based on existing work by Marco Tiloca, Bob Hinden, and Tim Wicinski (thanks!) shared on this list

So it would be good if a guidel could be added about formatting agendas and notes in markdown along with some templates.       The other markdown thing that would be helpful would be document the subtle differences in markdown formatting behavior between GitHub and Datatracker.  In particular there are little but important things like the need to add an extra line between some items so that they format correctly out of datatracker.
