RFC 6778: Requirements for Archiving IETF Email Lists and for Providing Web-Based Browsing and Searching
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The IETF makes heavy use of email lists to conduct its work. Participants frequently need to search and browse the archives of these lists and have asked for improved search capabilities. The current archive mechanism could also be made more efficient. This memo captures the requirements for improved email list archiving and searching systems. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
