6LoWPANners, the 6LoWPAN WG has been chartered to produce an "implementers guide", collecting clarifying information about the standards relevant for this WG. So far there has been little need for this, as we have put the necessary clarifying information into the specs themselves. However, with these maturing, maybe it is time to start work on the implementers guide.
I have submitted a first version of a document that might be fleshed out over time to become that implementers guide. I expect this to grow, but probably not to the size of its role model, RFC 4815. Please find it at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bormann-6lowpan-roadmap-00 Enjoy!
