Specific issue:
Size (time): (1-6, 6-18, 18+ months)
Importance/Urgency:
Problem Statement: The RFC Editor is responsible for making sure the overall RFC Series uses a consistent format and style. The Style Guide (linked to from the RFC Editor website at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/rfc-style) documents the style conventions currently in use by the series and stalled in publishing an update over two years ago.
The current plan is to move forward with a revised Style Guide split in to two forms: an RFC to cover the current accepted policies and guidelines, and a web space that holds new guidelines being tested and items that are expected to undergo regular updates (such as an acronym list).
RSE Actions:
- collect details on what items belong in the Style Guide and determine which are more appropriate for the web space
- create initial web space
RSOC Actions:
- provide direction on whether splitting the Style Guide in to two sections (RFC and web space) is reasonable (*DONE*)
- provide feedback on content
RFC Production Center & Publisher Actions:
- provide details of Style Guide related issues to RSE
- provide feedback on content
Costs/Benefits
Financial:
- costs of editor time for collation and review of information to be covered under normal operating costs
Project schedules:
- Started February 2012
- First draft of webspace due June 2012
