Dear colleagues, Over the next few months, we will be making changes to RIPEstat, our information service and open data platform. Most noteworthy, we will introduce a new user interface (UI) that combines elements of the two previous versions introduced in 2013 and 2020. Initially, we will focus on reverting to the 2013 UI and adding the unique features that were available only in the 2020 UI. Afterwards, we will continue building on what we have, and on what we learned, and build something better that aligns with what our users need. Finally, we will sunset the 2020 UI as we continue developing the newer user interface. Our decision was made after extensive user research whilst we maintained two interfaces for a few years, and tried to bridge the gap between the ‘old’ and ‘new’. Our aim now is not simply to bring back an older platform, but to focus on the elements that matter to RIPEstat users the most, and build on them to modernise the product altogether. You can read more details about our decision in our RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/adonis_stergiopoulos/streamlining-ripestat-buil... We welcome your comments on this mailing list, on the RIPE NCC Forum or by emailing us at stat@ripe.net. Kind regards, Ties de Kock Specialist software engineer RIPE NCC
