A simple protocol could be used to create/edit/delete registrations. > With a simple whois style 'handle' system and basic authentication it would b I think it's more than worth trying, let's put it that way. We'd need to have not just the server but a couple of "front ends" done so we could test it, but that's probably no biggie. Then there's also the 45,000 or so previous registration entries which we'd want to merge. Each registration record looks basically like this: <entry> <first>John</first> <last>Smith</last> <email>jsmith@yahoo.com</email> <address>123 Any street, #321</address> <city>Anytown</city> <state>USA</state> <zip>98765-321</zip> <options commerce_email="no" commerce_mail="no" announce="no" newsletter="no"></ options> <version>3.1-RELEASE</version> </entry> It's not ideal since it contains no real "demographic information" other than what release they were running at the time that the registration form was filled out, but we do have over 45,000 of these guys now and should probably do something with them. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
