IPP> IPP - current documents and implementation

I just subscribed to this mailing list 2 days ago and would like some
basic information:

I read the documents:
HTTP 1.1 as a Transport for the Internet Printing Protocol
(draft-turner-ipp-trans-develop-00)
Requirements for an Internet Printing Protocol: draft-ietf-ipp-req-00.txt
Internet Printing Protocol - Level 1 (Simple Web Printing Protocol):
Ipp-level1

PWG IPP Charter
RFC1867: Form-based File Upload in HTML
RFC1179: Line Printer Daemon Protocol
RFC1759: Printer MIB

and also the FAQ posted at www.pwg.org.

---
I am thinking of starting to design and implement a basic version of IPP, 
but I am not sure if this is good timing (since the protocols design is 
not finished) or if maybe there already is a basic implementation that I 
could use.

Could someone answer these questions for me:

* Are there additional documents or information related to ipp other than those at www.pwg.org? * Do you hold any face-to-face meetings that I could attend in the Bay Area? * Are your phone conferences accessible for me? * Is there some reference implementation that is publicly available or that someone is selling? * Do you think it's worth-while starting to implement IPP at this stage? * What's ipp pwg's take on SWP from MS and HP? Would that perhaps be a good candidate for a first implementation of IPP since it's simple? * is ISO 10175 available on the Web?

I'd be thankful for any info.

Peter
