Given the size of our community it just staggers me that we can't just have a simple wiki page that is open and everyone can just edit.
It works like this. The NZ Internet consists of: 1. Carriers 2. Network admins at Big ISPs 3. Network admins at Little ISPs 4. Technical people involved with Networks. 5. Anyone else. NZNOG caters to groups (2) and (3). Sometimes somebody from group (1) will say something but it is a little beneath them[1] and while a bunch of people from group (4) hang around they are only tolerated as much as they support the core two groups. Now the point is that anyone from groups (2) and (3) should already have an entry in peeringdb so there is no point duplicating this work. If you are really lucky group (1) might even have an entry that goes somewhere useful. Alternative proposals will fail unless they appeal to the needs and wants of the core NZNOG group. I suspect a wiki with the cellphone number of the DNS guy at Spark[2] is not going to be something that is supported. [1] and big companies don't like their staff talking in public [2] Which 8 years ago was me & a couple of other guys :) -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar
