provide navigation to main meeting page from IETF Datatracker agenda page

Open ghwood opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Description

Currently there is no link from the datatracker agenda page to the main meeting page (https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/NNN)

So, while someone navigating to the agenda page from the main meeting page can use the browser back button to return to the meeting page, someone (and especially IETF newcomers) pointed directly to the agenda page will have no way to get to the main IETF meeting page.

While this could be addressed by providing a link in the editable "notices" section, it would be better to make this a persistent element on the meeting agenda page, at least for the currently active meeting at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/

Those pages are, as I understand recent discussions, ephemeral. We would need process for deciding when to show the link. (Does the page exist yet? Has the page been removed?) Or we will provide links that 404.

The next 3 meeting pages are always meant to be available on www.ietf.org and a meeting page exists until the proceedings page for that meeting is finalized.

e.g. https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/116/ is available now, https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/117/ will be available as soon as 114 is over. https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/114/ will exist until https://datatracker.ietf.org/meetings/114/proceedings is published, at which point it will redirect to https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/114/proceedings

If I understand the timing for updating https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/, a pointer to the www.ietf.org page for the meeting it is intended to represent should always work.

Those links should all be to, e.g., https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/116/ (the s in meetings is missing in the above).

@jimfenton is correct and I've edited my comments above.

Adding line like this after the title seems reasonable:

(Full details of this meeting are available from <a
href="https://www.ietf/org/how/meetings/{meetingNumber}">https://www.ietf/org/how/meetings/{meetingNumber}</a>)

But I can't figure out where to put that. :)
