Hi Hannes, I would also like to reach developers that may not be familiar with the IETF and find themselves assigned with developing protocols we designed. I'll see if I (or my co-chair) can get something together in short order. ENISA was reviewing materials and asked for this type of information. For our work, they are an important group that have not been attending meetings, but do follow the work.

That's an interesting idea to reach out to those who are not yet involved in an IETF group. Of course, our working group pages and the Wikis are not necessarily are great way to communicate with people other than our main target audience. There is indeed something we could improve and I had in fact given a presentation about this topic to the IAB at the retreat this year. Here are the slides: http://www.tschofenig.priv.at/IAB_Work_Style.pdf Ciao Hannes PS: I got the impression from Harald's response that he was actually thinking about a different audience. Of course, the audience determines the content.
