Hi!
IMHO we have to camps:
1) the webinterface folks 2) the mailinterface folks
I think that RIPE NCC should support both camps. [...] Supporting two different interfaces to the same service doesn't come for free, but I think it's worth the trouble (and money).
From what I learned, supporting two different interfaces allows for very subtle bugs and annoyances, which ultimatly lead to effects like "you can do this only with that interface" or "If you do this with that interface, something different will happen compared to that other interface".
Having *one* way, and having this way consistently, is far easier to support. I vote for mail. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 17 years to go ! LF.net GmbH fon +49 711 90074-23 pi@LF.net Ruppmannstr. 27 fax +49 711 90074-33 D-70565 Stuttgart mob +49 171 3101372
