[connect-wg] Connect-WG at RIPE 71

I've considered it, and once I have a little more structure I'm planning on
introducing the idea to various BCOP groups (including RIPE) but first and
foremost I don't want this effort to be a BCOP that is filed away in long
technical prose.

I see this project more of a document to be handed out by IXPs to new
members on how to use prefix filtering. It should be a document with pretty
pictures and plenty of worked examples for various platforms, and ideally
with a couple of additional deliverables:

* A slide deck for people to pick up and present at conferences.

* If possible, a 5 minute video on how to do it and why -- not a screencast
but a flashy video that catches attention.

I absolutely don't want another dry, boring document like
http://nabcop.org/index.php/EBGP_Configuration_BCOP_v0.1 -- it should not
be comprehensive, it should concentrate on the key points only and make the
work required as low effort/risk as possible. In my experience, BCOPs tend
to be overly bogged down in minutiae and only provide examples in IOS style
configuration syntax.

I'd appreciate feedback.

Matthew
