RPC Wiki

• RPC edited document in XML as usual.
• RPC forked the author's repo at the beginning of RFCED state. RFCED put in changes from the PE's diff to the author's markdown file using PRs per section (38 total PRs)
• Each AQ was an issue (15 total) - some later became PRs (see next point below).
• An issue was created for each document-wide/global edit to later be incorporated as a PR.
• The (single) author and ISE were invited as a collaborators.
• References were manually handled in XML after other PRs/Issues etc. resolved and markdown--> XML used.

This eleventh experiment is an Independent Stream document (one author, 28 pages, not in a cluster). The ISE sent mail (9/13/2023) requesting that this document be a GitHub experiment, as would be a good candidate to work out ISE processes. The author agreed prior to the document entering the queue.

• Database page
• ARO page
• GitHub repo for the I-D

This experiment involved moving edits from an XML file to a markdown file using github for RFCED and AUTH48. In this experiment, the RPC controls the repo. Both pull requests and issue tracking were used.

• AUTH48 repo for RFC 9518
• forked Mark's repo so it was public to start (i.e., forked repos cannot be set to private)
• Contains:
  • rfc9518.xml
  • README.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • note-well.md

• draft-nottingham-avoiding-internet-centralization/issues
• Initial number of issuses: 15
• Issue labels:
  • rfced

• AUTH48 started 2023 Dec 6 and ended 2023 Dec 18. This document was published 2023 Dec 18.

• Switching between XML --> Markdown --> XML was confusing and time consuming.
• We only used the rfced label. Didn't know we needed the other labels added at RFCED.
• Using Issues to mention global edits and then PRs to implement them once authors agree.
• We figured out how to update the header/boilerplate to be Independent Submission in markdown. (See header of the markdown file at https://github.com/rfc-editor/draft-nottingham-avoiding-internet-centralization/blob/rpc-main/draft-nottingham-avoiding-internet-centralization.md).
