The whole OpenSRS model on code-sharing interests me. Many people write to
this list asking for code to do certain things, and in many cases they are
given the code they want. People regularly make demands on what the OpenSRS
sample implementation must do, and get edgy if a timeline isn't given.
This strikes me as quite weird. When other SRS systems connect you up, you
get a _sample_ implementation and a spec for how the system works (and the
perl-code is plenty good for a spec). You are expected to write your own
systems to give value-add to your clients.
With the OpenSRS users, it looks like lots of people with little experience
in domains or programming and just expecting a cheap way to register domains
and expect the community and OpenSRS to do all the work for them.
If you want a system that offers domain-name alternatives, hire someone and
write it and offer it as a value-add. IMHO this is the responsibility of the
reseller, not OpenSRS. I believe the RITE test should be far more difficult
and OpenSRS should insist that the potential client has the necessary
technical resources to genuinely support their system.
