Agenda development support

["Fred Baker (fred)" <[e-mail]>]

I have developed a tool for my own amusement, and wonder whether others would find it useful. If appropriate I can get it filed on the tools page or somehow supported in the data tracker. It is based on Henrik's data tracker API, which is to say "not screen scraping". It's in perl.

Here's the problem I'm trying to solve. I can look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/v6ops/documents/, and figure out anything I need to know about my working group's drafts. The information is all there. However, it is somewhat inaccessible, in the sense that it is cluttered with information that, while relevant, isn't particularly useful in agenda analysis, and the sort capability (that used to be there?) isn't there (any more).

What I'm trying to figure out, when planning an agenda, is:
  - what working group drafts have been updated since the last meeting
    (which I will then do a mail search to determine the latest status of)
  - what individual submissions to the working group have come in
    (which I will then do a mail search for supporting commentary regarding).

I may also have other drafts I am specifically interested in; this time, we had an invited talk on a technology that Facebook is experimenting with, that is actually in discussion in nvo3 (draft-herbert-nvo3-ila).

So therefore, I enter something like
ietf-agenda-analysis.pl --date 2015-07-22 v6ops draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-01.txt
or
ietf-agenda-analysis.pl --date 2015-07-22 v6ops draft-herbert-nvo3-ila

and get back the following (today). My question is whether other chairs would find this kind of capability useful, and whether I should bring it up with the tools team. If it's useful to you, you're welcome to my script regardless, on an open source basis.
