Now that GitHub has template repositories, I wonder if it would make sense to create and maintain one for the community under https://github.com/ietf/. Do you think what you have provided here could be the basis of something like that?

Should we have links to "official" copies, or pull down latest and include them in the wg-materials repo, and I-D repo's?

Is there a way to auto-update items (WGchairs, etc) via datatracker? Would really want to use an API, not screen-scrape.

please make sure that the WG GitHub is included within the “Additional
Resources” section of the the WG’s Datatracker page
(e.g., https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/drip/about/ ). In addition to making it easier
for people to find, linking your GitHub from within the Datatracker also ensures
that the GitHub data will be backed up by the IETF.

Adopt an existing individual draft from a user's github repo, as a WG doc.
See https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template/blob/master/doc/ADOPTING.md for what to do.

probably in readme.md

For the git repos which exist, perhaps a companion tool that does some validation to make sure the basic pieces are there?

They want an initial doc draft submitted. Include a %(...)s dummy in the script repo and create it? Automate more of the script invocation?

Get formal permission to use the IETF logo. Working on it, but with IASA2, etc., things are in flux.

Need a script, like mk-ietf-draft, to create drafts in a user's directory. This will need much code re-used from that script, which might mean refactoring and packaging things as a python library which I have tried to avoid so far.

./mk-ind-draft --doc draft-bishop-litigious-flower -n <creds> produced a repo named "draft-mikebishop-bishop-litigious-flower" and instructions about adding a document by that name.

I kind of get it -- if I just pass in "litigious-flower" then you're going to format the draft name semi-properly. However, if I've specified a doc name that begins with "draft-", shouldn't that be the name used?

when creating an organization, add ietf-secretariat as an owner.
