FYI: List of current proposals

  Hi David !

=> 
=> What about the WWW/WAIS interface to the database?
=
=I will add it to the list. It probably slipped my mind (by my software
=engineer perspective) since it is not part of the database software
=itself, but a separate project.
=
=As far as me concerned, it is a very useful addition to the database
=interfaces we already have and thus should be high on our priority list
=(for the new website).

  I think that's 2 different issues:
  
  - WWW/WAIS access to the information contained in the DB
  
	That's probably a separate project that might need some finishing
	touches from the DB software engineer(s)
	
  - WWW/HTML/HTTP functionality in the DB-SW package and the whois-server
    and whois-client
    
	That's from my point of view part of the item to include/provide
	means to register URLs (in some way or another) in the DB objects.
	But registering the URL strings itself is not a major problem (we
	could use a remarks field for that porpose as an interim
	measure - look at spt1-ripe :-), 
	but the *access* to the objects by way of an http or whois
	interface is! I haven't found a trick yet to make my browser 
	process an object as html code...
	
  For the moment I'd like to concentrate my efforts on the second aspect!

  David, is there a chance to meet you during the IETF to share some
  drinks and thoughts?
