Re: Update to chairs.ietf.org

Thanks, Greg

a) Bread crumps

In general i like to see old "to-be-decommissioned" content to be frozen to
some backup place, and the original URLs to provide an explanation like

  - This URL decommissioned
  - replacement <here> (aka: wgchairs.ietf.org)
  - If replacement is missing something from the original, please complain <here> (tools-discuss@ ?)
  - Frozen static version of old content: <here>

Then again, its at best 1 in 1000 web pages that are that friendly with their
users, so you would join a tiny minority if you would do this ;-) ( ;-()

b) Community based content

For the wiki, the question is whether/how there will be community way
to add/improve content of wgchairs.ietf.org. If not (e.g.: if its only
tols-team curated), then at least ask those folks that actively did
edit/help with the wgchairs wiki (i see immediately BarryL, AdrianF, AlissaC, JoeH,...)
what they would like to see going forward.

Personally i would very much like to see a community edit option, not
necessarily on all pages, but somehow. And for curated content ideally
on every page a "comments" section at the bottom (requiring datatracker
login of course) with maybe a "bug" flag to easily highlight actual bugs
in the text (yes, we have trac, but before you find whether someone else
has reported the same bug via trac, you're old...).

Cheers
