A Quickstart Guide to IRR/RPSL

As I'm a member of the team trying to run an Internet Exchange, we've been looking into rolling out IRR prefix filtering on the exchange route servers (which is a seriously good thing to do), but as we started to dig into what we were asking all of our IXP participants to do, the current state of documentation on how to get started in IRR to do just enough to enable prefix filtering seemed... lacking.

We've written a whitepaper on the matter, but given our minimal real world experience using IRR, I'd appreciate it if others could sanity check our guide and point out any flaws in our understanding of how our participants should use IRR or where you get totally lost in this guide.
