Follow up on action items

• Quick start guides for I-D Authors (from 27-Jan-2022)
  Based on initial outlines from Alice, guides are now available at: https://authors.ietf.org/
  . possibly need more/different guidance for non-developer authors (e.g. civil society) that aren't familiar with usual tools
  . consider other modes (e.g. MS Word) for other audiences (possible action item for 2022 plan?)
  . another alternative is something like https://ipv.sx/draftr-js/ (possibly another 2022 action item) --> a better version: https://draftr-js.github.io/ (edit markdown on the left, get output on the right; there are buttons for saving the files.)
  . separate quick starts by authoring mode.
  . conduct some testing (focus grouping) on the actual guides
