Introduction A prominent member of the IETF community has developed a set of tools to produce statistics about the authors of RFCs and Internet-Drafts. These tools analyze the documents themselves to produce statistics about the documents and their authors. The goal of the IETF Datatracker enhancements described in this document is to provide similar statistics and ensure that the software is maintained as part of the IETF information services. While some data may still need to be extracted from the documents themselves, as much data as possible should be maintained in the IETF Datatracker database [DATATRACKER]. Current statistics are available on the web at http://www.arkko.com/tools/docstats.html. The code that is used to produce these statistics is available at http://www.arkko.com/tools/authorstats.html. 2. Purpose Author statistics allow the community to understand where work is being done and by whom. The statistics make it visible which individuals, companies, and geographic regions are the most active contributors. The statistics also show how these are changing over the years. Housley Informational [Page 2] RFC 7760 SOW for Author Statistics January 2016 Some of the statistics provide "nice to know" information; however, others are sometimes used to refer to a particular participant's contributions in the IETF or used to study trends within IETF work. For instance, the IETF has been trying to increase the diversity of participants, and the statistics are one way to see the impact of those efforts. Also, the most active individuals are potentialShow full document text
