+This is the wiki of the IETF HTTPBIS Working Group. We're [http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/httpbis-charter.html chartered] to revise and clarify RFC2616 -- the HTTP 1.1 specification -- to improve interoperability and security.

+== Deliverables ==
 
-== Discussion ==
+The HTTP specification has been split up into several drafts for readability and modularity; see the [http://tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/ Drafts] directory for a snapshot. Related material includes:
 
- * [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/ Mailing list]
- * [xmpp://httpbis@jabber.ietf.org?join XMPP/Jabber chat] ([http://jabber.ietf.org/logs/httpbis/ archives])
+ * [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/browser Subversion repository]
+ * [http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/wg/httpbis/draft-ietf-httpbis/diffs/ Document changes], also in [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/timeline?ticket=on&changeset=on&milestone=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss RSS] and on [http://twitter.com/httpbis Twitter]
+ 
+
+== Issue Handling ==
+
+Issues with the specifications are kept in our [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/report ticket tracker].
+
+We have two basic types of issues; Design ([http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/report/9 open issues]) and Editorial ([http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/report/10 open issues]).
+
+Design issues need to be discussed by the Working Group to reach consensus. This generally happens on the mailing list when the issue is raised, but the editors sometimes incorporate a proposed resolution to a design issue in a draft, so that the WG can see it in-situ. Such tickets aren't fully closed until the group confirms the proposal after it is published; you can see [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/report/15 a list of such tickets here].
+
+Editorial issues can be resolved by the editors without consultation with the group, although sometimes an editor will poll the group for advice.
+
+
+== Participate ==
+
+As with all IETF Working Groups, almost all discussion and decisions are made on our [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/ mailing list]. Joining this list is "joining" the Working Group, and is the best way to participate.
+
+We meet at least twice a year at [http://www.ietf.org/meeting/ IETF meetings]; see also  [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/browser/wg_materials materials from past meetings]. 
+
+We use a [xmpp://httpbis@jabber.ietf.org?join XMPP/Jabber channel] ([http://jabber.ietf.org/logs/httpbis/ archives]), but usually just during physical meetings.
+
+ALL contributors and participants in the Working Group (i.e., on the mailing list and in physical meetings) MUST read and understand the [http://www.ietf.org/NOTEWELL.html NOTE WELL] statement.
