        Right. We all know from the beginning that a wiki is better
        than nothing but, when the number of users/documents grows, it
        becomes very hard to keep the information up-to-date.

        Another problem is that documents and their comments are not
        stored together. The RFC remains, which is fine, but the
        comments fly away, except if the author manually copies them
        from the list. IMHO, this is the main drawback of the current
        system: when I read an RFC, I also want to read the comments
        because they're  an integral part of the RFC life. It does not
        mean that they should not be mirrored to the mailing list, but
        it is essential to store them with the RFC.

        Maybe it is time to replace the wiki with a real RFC app.
        Thoughts ? Do you know of an existing app used by a similar
        development community ? If not, what would you build it from ?
        Who would be ready to participate ?

    In a reversal of what I said before... not yet. A better organised
    RFC page would be better. I'd be happy to help sort and organise it.

So then, we're not going to write a new RFC app? Or are you just talking about tweaking the wiki while the app is under development? --Kris I think it's best to do what we can with the wiki, as it stands. There are plenty of things we haven't tried. There are macros and such.
