| 8 | + <big> |
| 9 | + <p> |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + The IETF Datatracker is the primary day-to-day front-end to the IETF database for people |
| 12 | + who work on IETF standards. It contains data about the documents, working groups, |
| 13 | + meetings, agendas, minutes, presentations, etc. of the IETF. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + </p> |
| 16 | + <p> |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + The primary public face of IETF is at <a href="https://www.ietf.org/">www.ietf.org</a>. |

| 23 | + <h2>Version 6.0.0: Facelift using Bootstrap</h2> |
| 24 | + <p> |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + During more than a year, from July 2013 to late 2014, <i>Lars Eggert</i> worked intensively |
| 27 | + on a major facelift to the datatracker, porting the GUI to Bootstrap. The work |
| 28 | + took |
| 29 | + <a href="http://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/log/personal/lars?rev=8652&stop_rev=5871&limit=500"> |
| 30 | + 287 separate commits |
| 31 | + </a>, and comprised changes to 1016 different files. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + </p> |
| 34 | + <p> |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + This work has turned the IETF Datatracker website into a responsive website which |
| 37 | + support use on a much larger variety of devices, from small mobile devices to desktops. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + </p> |
| 40 | + <p> |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + The work continues to build on the <a href="https://www.djangoproject.org/">Django</a> |
| 43 | + framework which the datatracker has been using since <a href="/release/2.00/">version |
| 44 | + 2.00</a>, and relies heavily on the capabilities of <a href="http://getbootstrap.com"> |
| 45 | + Bootstrap</a>. It also uses icons from <a href="">FontAwesome</a>, and functions from |
| 46 | + <a href="https://django-bootstrap3.readthedocs.org/">django-bootstrap3</a>. |

| 53 | + page conversion work |

| 56 | + <a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/3702908/Key_West_Sunset">colour palette</a> |
| 57 | + (with the addition of complementing red and green colours for success and error indications), |
| 58 | + and a selection of fonts |

| 91 | + |
| 92 | + <p> |
| 93 | + The first version of the idtracker was commissioned by the IESG under <i>Harald |
| 94 | + Alvestrand</i> in 2001, and the IESG started using it at the beginning of 2002. It was |
| 95 | + written by <i>Michael Lee</i> in Perl, with direct SQL statements. It provided a |
| 96 | + major improvement in visibility of the progress of drafts by the IESG. |
| 97 | + The first <a href="https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/55/slides/plenary-6/plenary-6.ppt"> |
| 98 | + public presentation</a> of it and its capabilities was made 2002-11-20 |
| 99 | + in Atlanta by Thomas Narten. |
