|
|
The IETF Datatracker is the primary day-to-day front-end to the IETF database for people
|
|
who work on IETF standards. It contains data about the documents, working groups,
|
|
meetings, agendas, minutes, presentations, etc. of the IETF.
|
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|

The primary public face of IETF is at <a href="https://www.ietf.org/">www.ietf.org</a>.

<h2>Version 6.0.0: Facelift using Bootstrap</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
During more than a year, from July 2013 to late 2014, <i>Lars Eggert</i> worked intensively
|
|
on a major facelift to the datatracker, porting the GUI to Bootstrap. The work
|
|
took
|
|
<a href="http://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/log/personal/lars?rev=8652&stop_rev=5871&limit=500">
|
|
287 separate commits
|
|
</a>, and comprised changes to 1016 different files.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
This work has turned the IETF Datatracker website into a responsive website which
|
|
support use on a much larger variety of devices, from small mobile devices to desktops.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The work continues to build on the <a href="https://www.djangoproject.org/">Django</a>
|
|
framework which the datatracker has been using since <a href="/release/2.00/">version
|
|
2.00</a>, and relies heavily on the capabilities of <a href="http://getbootstrap.com">
|
|
Bootstrap</a>. It also uses icons from <a href="">FontAwesome</a>, and functions from
|
|
<a href="https://django-bootstrap3.readthedocs.org/">django-bootstrap3</a>.

<h2>Version 1.0.0: Initial Perl/MySQL database and web-pages</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first version of the idtracker was commissioned by the IESG under <i>Harald
|
|
Alvestrand</i> in 2001, and the IESG started using it at the beginning of 2002. It was
|
|
written by <i>Michael Lee</i> in Perl, with direct SQL statements. It provided a
|
|
major improvement in visibility of the progress of drafts by the IESG.
|
|
The first <a href="https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/55/slides/plenary-6/plenary-6.ppt">
|
|
public presentation</a> of it and its capabilities was made 2002-11-20
|
|
in Atlanta by Thomas Narten.
