Greetings,
Following up from our last conference call, in order to bring the IPP Implementor’s Guide v2 to the “Prototype” state, we need to decide on the scope of the IPP Implementor’s Guide v2.
Below is the outline of the document as it currently stands, with separating space between each primary section. Please reply to comment on its scope to recommend topic addition / change / removal, so we can discuss via email.
Thanks for any feedback!
