[Fim4l] FIM4L guidelines

[Gragert, Gerrit]

Hi,

I'm absolutely fine with that.

That's also okay for me. Although I think R&S and publisher SPs may fuse in some cases in the future. But I see that nowadays it's more import to get FIM in libraries started at all, so I agree to focus the guidelines on this point. Maybe we can put a sentence or two about that focus in the guidelines? I'll think about it and make a suggestion in the document.

I'll consider this in my suggestion.

Consent from my side.

Best,
Gerrit
