   As the question was asked , I think the following should be
included as part of the how to join page, and while being on the
subject, as well as part of the 6bone site !


1) Requirments Spec’s
A page dedicated to the RFC listing, both standards and drafts,
which basically would be good starting place for interested 6bone
implementors/users. I think, one SHOULD do their home work
first,  but listing is needed !! The 6bone is after all an
experimental test bed.

2) Who is providing and howto pointers
Links to Vendors email lists/pages who are developing /providing
6bone products/services. An important note, should highlight,
that vendor specific enquires should be addressed to those
email/vendors AND NOT the 6bone listing. I have seen vendor
specific inquires  which are not related to the core aspects of
6bone, popping up on this list.

3) Tunnel requisitions , Registry entry , ASN etc how to go about
it !!
Requirements for setting up Tunnels, (i.e nearest Endpoint with
6bone connectivity, packet loss , avg RTT blah blah blah..etc ).
Also, how to refer to the 6bone map to locate the closest
endpoint and where to find the lastest 6bone map !, I think that
the current how to page is having some info on the registry
process, but tunneling is also required.

4)  criteria Requirements for obtaining pTLA
Correct me if I’m wrong, there are the 3 criteria which make the
baseline for obtaining the pTLA. This SHOULD be included
somewhere , on the ‘How to join page’ !!!

5) Last but not least, the 6bone mail archive should be updated,
the last entry on this list is sometime in Dec of 97 , if I'm not
mistaken !!

Thats it, for now :))
