Dear colleagues, Earlier this year, the RIPE NCC announced our intentions to revise the RIPE Database documentation, as requested by the community at RIPE Meetings: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/revising-the-ripe-database-docume... The first batch of new documentation pages are available online: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/support/ripe-database-documentation These pages replace the contents of the RIPE Database Update Reference Manual, which has now been removed fromwww.ripe.net, and include the contents of several other database-related webpages. We will publish further documentation pages, replacing the RIPE Database Query Reference Manual, before RIPE 69 in London, 3-7 November 2014. Features of this new documentation include: - A glossary of commonly-used terms shown throughout the documentation marked by dots (...) underneath. Mousing over these words will show the corresponding glossary entry. Alternatively, you can browse the glossary for a list of words and phrases and their definitions. - An export feature so that you can export the entire contents of the documentation to a .pdf for printing. We invite feedback from the community about the new documentation, which will be revised with each release of the RIPE Database software. Please reply toripe-dbm@ripe.net or provide your feedback on the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list. Regards, Denis Walker RIPE NCC
