Code of Conduct

That view has all manner of problems. Some are related to the postgresql related change to a case-sensitive database query engine. Others are related to how the view is deciding whether a group should be listed on that page (it currently uses the GroupFeature.acts_like_wg attribute).

To that point - we list stream groups in streams. The research groups and the iab programs all have their own pages. The editorial stream should probably follow a parallel construction.

(Yes, right now edm and one RG (cfrg) are listed on that page. cfrg is listed twice because of the above bugs. That will be corrected. Note that other RG are not listed on the page already.)

In short, it's not clear to me that RSWG should appear here.

The name of the page might need to change to reflect that it means lists that aren't for a group in a stream.

RSAB is on this list already, it would seem RSWG should be as well. Or they should both be elsewhere, I suppose? Or maybe I'm looking at this wrong (as a stream) vs one is a working group and the other is not...

They are already listed in the menus here: image

I'll research whether turning the nonwg page into a non-group page makes sense. (Or if another container description is more accurate). nonwg was inherited from long ago and probably has been a misnomer for years.

I recommend changing the text "RFC Editor" on the main menu to "Editorial Stream". As this is an 'internal' tool, it is appropriate to use stream terminology
