RESTful API style guide


As part of the Agenda Tool work, a number of JSON API calls have been
created.  I have started writing some document for them, at least to have
a list of what is there.  There are a number of inconsistencies in the API,
some of which I know how I want to fix, and some which I do not...

I'm writing it in markdown, although I found that neither the perl nor python
markdown converter seems to deal properly with code samples indented by 4
spaces.  Any suggestions on a better tool chain?

Once I have written up what there is, I will be very interested in what parts
are just broken.  To whet your appetite, the Agenda Tool loads many group
descriptions like:

[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/splices.json HTTP/1.1" 200 531
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/raiarea.json HTTP/1.1" 200 378
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/6lowpan.json HTTP/1.1" 200 554
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/autoconf.json HTTP/1.1" 200 620
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/tsvarea.json HTTP/1.1" 200 346
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/hip.json HTTP/1.1" 200 559
[17/Jun/2013 18:04:50] "GET /group/mip4.json HTTP/1.1" 200 530

This is just *TOO SLOW*.  Too many small requests.  (I assume the browser has
a 1.1-persistent session open, but I haven't checked actually).
I'd like to replace it with:
    GET /groups.json
returning an array of groups.  Does this make sense, architecturally?

Any suggestions on things to include, not include, in the API template?

No archive for recent posts on calsify <at>

We had a discussion in the past month on the calsify <at> ietf.org mailing list. But I do not see this discussion at http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/ietf-calsify/, the last one in the archive is dated 2012.

I also couldn't report this issue through the "Report a bug" link (http://tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/newticket), my e-mail and password didn't grant me access to do that.

Regards
Grisha

HTML version of RFC4890 is truncated

Compare these two documents:
- http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4890.txt
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4890

The text version has the full 37 pages, but the HTML version stops in
the middle of page 3.  I've only noticed this on one page, but I'm not
sure if it's indicative of a wider bug.

Bug on CCAMP tools page

Hello,
 
While looking for the following ID on the CCAMP tools page
 
I found that the comment associated to it is Waiting for Document Update
 
A ticket related to such ID was opened a while ago but when the new version was uploaded the ticket was closed. I was expecting to see the comment cleared (as it happened for other IDs).
 
Is this a bug or the closing of the ticket is not enough and a further action is needed?
 
Many thanks and best regards
Daniele (CCAMP secretary)

Draft differ is broken when comparing a draft against one that is more than one rev older

Greetings again.

http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis-00.txt?url2=draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis-02.txt

This shows the comparison of the -01 versus the -02, not the -00 versus the -02. This is somewhat critical for
the above URL, where the -02 is supposed to look like the -00, not the -01.

Lifecycle Analysis

Hi,
 
Out of  curiosity I wanted to check the lifecycle stistics for the 1323bis draft, that I am editor of.
 
It appears, that the current tools stop processing lifecycle data, when the document is marked as expired:
 
draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis
 
 
And stops the graph after the first expiration:
 
 
The raw data
 
 
It might be unusual for a draft to be revived after such a long hibernation phase, but I was wondering if that could nevertheless be fixed?
 
Thanks,
 
Richard Scheffenegger

An IETF version of doodle ?


Doodle sucks at time zone. Time zones are sort of important for scheduling IETF meetings. I hate that Doodle
does not show how long the proposed meeting is. 

It seems like it would be a good 1 day hacking project at a code sprint to make an IETF tool for scheduling
interim meetings that could replace doodle.

Colored bars on top of HTML RFCs

There are colored bars on top of the HTML versions of RFCs to indicate their status.
(Brown – obsoleted, blue – PS, purple – BCP, orange – informational, etc.)
Subtle, but very useful for experienced users.

This HTML version doesn't have one:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775 

Bug?  Feature?

Grüße, Carsten

Feature request: interim meeting minutes

Hi,

it would be great if the main WG meeting minutes page (e.g. 
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/ipsecme/minutes) linked not only to "full" IETF 
meeting minutes, but also to interim meetings' minutes (

http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/interim/2013/05/16/ipsecme/minutes/minutes-interim-2013-ipsecme-1). 
Otherwise if you want to find them, you really need to know what you're 
looking for.

Thanks,
     Yaron

script for normative references

Hello,
 before writing one (which should be pretty straightforward), I thought to ask here.  Anyone has written and
would share a script to pull out normative references from a list of RFCs and do the in-depth digging (i.e.
follow the references)?  

Thanks in advance, Marc.

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.

We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware

Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 

We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP. 

The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!

Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and tries to 
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). 
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published 
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. 

Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has 
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMP’13 
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. 

The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee 
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact 
details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! 

Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for 
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal 
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many 
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at 
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 

Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. 

We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities 
http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com   Search Google using the 
keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.
