The other wikis generally do a better job at providing an overview, context, history, and usage notes. The RFC pages contain information for tool developers rather than users of the tools (such as syntax descriptions of serializations, descriptions of valid structures, suggestions for implementation, etc.), although the latter audience can sometimes benefit as well. The goals are outlined here: <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/FormatSpecifications" target="_blank">http://moin.delph-in.net/FormatSpecifications</a> (I've now linked this from the DelphinRfcs page).<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">In practice, I often start an RFC page to gather and distill the technical
information that I need to implement something in PyDelphin. This information is present in the other wikis, in technical reports, and in the Lisp code (for the LKB, [incr tsdb()], etc.).

Michael recently update page [2], but we also have page [1] and I believe we have many overlaps between them. Am I right? Do we need two pages or better join their contents? <br>
<br>
