[ietf-outcomes] "Instances" column

[Dave CROCKER <[e-mail]>]

Folks,

Ray is a busy guy today.  He looked at the Outcomes pages some more and went the 
next step in thinking of a way to make it easier for average, non-geek/non-IETF 
folk to relate to particular pieces of work, by asking whether it would be 
possible to indicate products implement the work.

I did a version of this for DKIM

    <http://dkim.org/deploy/index.html>

but it is manually maintained and was for the purpose of /promoting/ DKIM 
adoption, rather than /demonstrating/ it.  At the least, it has more detail than 
I would suggest for the Outcomes page.

I do think that some amount of pointing to implementations could be helpful, 
since it provide concrete demonstration of availability (if not actual use.) 
However, it needs to be self-administered, carry no implications of quality or 
conformance, and no marketing.

I've created an example of this on the Security page

    <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/misc/outcomes/wiki/IetfSecurity>

and would appreciate comments.

It has an example of pointing to a list that is maintained outside (the DKIM 
page) and one that is part of the wiki (DNSSec).  Since I don't know anything 
about DNSSec, I've only created the skeleton for the sub-page; but I am guessing 
that there are folk who are highly motivated to tout DNSSec support...)

OK.  Start shooting...
