Dear colleagues,
Please find below a list of the projects that we included in our development plan. We would appreciate if you could indicate importance and usefullness of specific projects so we can adjust their priorities.
2. Real-time (interactive) updates
Currently only e-mail updates are supported by the RIPE Database which complicates automation of the update process at the clients side. The facility that will allow connection oriented interactive, or real-time updates, will simplify development of the client tools and make synchronising of LIR's address management database an easier task.
Once implemented this project will present a facility for other tools, such as web-based update interface, or a standalone syntax checker.
Ral-Time updates would be number one on my personal wish-list! BTW.: There is already a set of php-functions available to interact via. webinterface with ARIN. Perhaps those could be of use to you. best regards, Arnd -- NetHead Network Design and Security Arnd Vehling av@nethead.De Gummersbacherstr. 27 Phone: +49 221 8809210 50679 Cologne, Germany Fax : +49 221 8809212
