- DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS
-
-
-
- This note is a revision of NWG/RFC 10 and 16.
-
- The Network Working Group consists of interested people from existing or
- potential ARPA network sites. Membership is not closed.
-
- The Network Working Group (NWG) is concerned with the HOST software,
- the strategies for using the network, and initial experience with the
- network.
-
- Documentation of the NWG's effort is through notes such as this. Notes
- may be produced at any site by and included in this series.
-
-
- CONTENT
-
- The content of a NWG note may be any thought, suggestion, etc. related
- to the HOST software or other aspect of the network. Notes are
- encouraged to be timely rather than polished. Philosophical positions
- without examples or other specifics, specific suggestions or
- implementation techniques without introductory or background explication,
- and explicit questions without any attempted answers are all acceptable.
- The minimum length for a NWG note is one sentence.
-
-
- These standards (or lack of them) are stated explicitly for two reasons.
- First, there is a tendency to view a written statement as ipso facto
- authoritative, and we hope to promote the exchange and discussion of
- considerably less than authoritative ideas. Second, there is a natural
- hesitancy to publish something unpolished, and we hope to ease this
- inhibition.
-
-
