Re: How the IPnG effort was started

Hi,

There are a lot of sites with such information.

One good example in Spanish is www.6sos.org.

I'm working in a new one much much much more complete, to avoid needing to
"google" in hundreds of sites, and this will be in English (open to
volunteers to translate to other languages).

It will be hosted at www.ipv6tf.org and www.eu.ipv6tf.org (both already
working with the actual version, but not updated since a couple of months or
so). A lot of information is also published daily at www.ist-ipv6.org.

Regards,
Jordi

Dear Robert,
if only Cugnot's team had promoted cars .... As Harald put it wisely first,
the organization and promotion is not upto IETF but to sales, Govs,
operators, users, etc... IETF and ICANN are actually blocking IPv6 as it is
widely perceived for  what it still is: a non-operational (if you compre to
TV, mobiles, cars, McDonnald, Bible or CDs), not warranted technical
upgrade. A suggestion, not a mass product.

Just point me one single site dedicated to a clear "Why, How Much and HowTo
Switch to v6", for end-users.
If cars were still reserved to losers and technologists, I am not sure they
would be widely used.

Hmm - the auto analogy is perhaps not a bad one.   Cars were invented
in what - about 1880?   And how long did it take before just about
everyone was using one?   Or even before they were really widespread?

Designing new stuff isn't that hard (IPv6 was done for all practical
purposes years & years ago now) - getting it widely adopted is an entirely
different problem and can take a very long time - which says nothing
at all about either the value of, or the need for, the new stuff.
Nor does it prevent their being plenty of people who are quite convinced,
for whatever reason, that the new stuff isn't necessary or useful, and
they're going to keep using the old forever.
