I think this is the reason why ARIN set up the wiki at
http://www.getipv6.info and I have been contributing to this wiki along
with a few others. Mostly I have taken comments from mailing lists, such
as Brian Carpenter's specific recommandation of two books as being up to
date.

But it would help if more of the people in IETF who really know IPv6
would go to the wiki and contribute. In particular, there is a page on
adressing plans that is very light, more of a strawman than anything
else. The wiki *is* being managed by ARIN staff so that SPAM/defacementr
attempts are quickly removed.

Ideally, the above-mentioned wiki would evolve into an authoritative
reference source to other materials on the web and in print. I have
started this page http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Book_Reviews in
order to collect such references. Please feel free to add any other
books to the page.
