Hi WG Chairs,

One of the actions we took out of the survey on implementation status tracking was to add a Datatracker tag that could be added to the page for a document or a working group in the “additional resources” section.

You can click on “Edit” by “Additional Resources”, and add one or more entries for related_implementations.

For example, you could add:

	related_implementations https://implementation_info_page.example.com/foobar <https://implementation_info_page.example.com/foobar>

This shows up in the page as “Related Implementations”. You can customize that string like this:

	related_implementations https://implementation_info_page.example.com/foobar <https://implementation_info_page.example.com/foobar> (Protocol Implementation Info)

I’ve added an example for Binary HTTP Messages, with two implementations, here:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-binary-message/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-binary-message/>

This can be a way to help highlight and link implementation status. It will be highlighted in the hackathon, but you may want to bring it up with your working groups at IETF 113 too!

Thanks,
Tommy, on behalf of the EDM IAB Program
