Arife and I just sat through a bof on BGP analysis where a few tools using RIS and/or RV data were presented. I've no idea how useful those tools actually are but if they are only presented at NANOG, I doubt that many people in the RIPE region will hear that tehy are available, let alone test drive them.
Random idea: shouldn't we make a page on the ris website with links to all the tools that we know of. On the page, we can also put a bit of text inviting people to send us links if they develop tools and tell them that we'd be happy to announce new entries to the RIPE mailing lists. This will give the developpers more exposure for their tools and make it easier for the community to find all tools based on the RIS.
At the same time, I think
I think it's a good idea to put a link from our page. Will do it. BTW, UCLA group asked people to fill up a survey about which purpose people use data, what kind of improvement they need for data collection and so. Dan Massey who is doing survey. He promised to let us know when he gets back the forms. Arife
Deserves an entry in the left column.
