Testing issue: * I'm not seeing any posting confirmation emails going out to the testing address, which makes it impossible for me to carry through the testing to a final post, and verify that the document is online. Bugs: * Failed idnits run on second submission? I did one upload of draft-ietf-dnsext-axfr-clarify-16.txt, which had some metadata flaws, fixed those and uploaded again. The (failed) idnits results from the second upload is incomplete, showing only this: "idnits 2.12.07 /var/www/staging/draft-ietf-dnsext-axfr-clarify-07.txt:" Running idnits 2.12.07 locally on the draft produces the expected output. * Abstract extraction. Processing draft-ietf-dnsext-axfr-clarify-16.txt gives an abstract which includes the first 2 paragraphs from the Introduction section. You should probably add a condition which cuts the abstract when a line matching "^ *[0-9]+\.? " is found, to stop at the first numbered section. * Abstract extraction (II). Processing draft-eastlake-sha2b-05 results in an abstract which is cut short. The last line of the first paragraph, and the entire second paragraph of the abstract is missing. Flaws: * It's unnecessarily hard to upload a fixed version of a draft after flaws has been found in a first upload. You have to either remember to cancel on the check page, or follow the link provided to go back and do it later. I'd prefer that for a failed upload (idnits or meta-data failures) a new upload would automatically cancel the previous one; at least a new upload from the same IP address. * Also, cancelling a submission with idnits or meta-data errors should not cause an 'Are You Sure' dialog. * When the draft name found in the text of an uploaded draft contains characters which are not permitted, there's an error message next to the upload filename box. This can be misleading, especially if the filename of the upload doesn't violate the rule. Please change the message "Filename contains non alpha-numeric character: %s" next to the upload filename box to be a metadata error on the check page, and change the text to something like "The draft name found in the document, '%s', contains one or more alphanumeric characters: '%s'." * On at least one occasion, (draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-08.txt), the first time I clicked the 'Post' button I was just returned to the same page. A second click on 'Post' resulted in the submitter auth page. Nits: * On the check page, there's initially a large blank area above the Meta-Data area, which then (as the style sheet is read in??) reduces to a reasonable height. Please make this appear the same from the start. If this is caused by the idnits page element, you could maybe take it out of the regular html placement flow by giving it absolute placement from the start? (Just guessing here as to the cause...) * If a draft name is found in multiple places on the first page, it would make it easier to correct for instance a bad revision number if the meta-data error message would quote the full line where the bad rev. number was found. The notes above is what I have from testing 8 drafts which have been troublesome in the past. As soon as the first bug is fixed, so it's possible to do repeat submissions with idnits fixes, I'll test more. Best, Henrik
