In that spirit I'll repeat my suggestion for the update messages to include diffs.
I don't know what software is being run but if it's the RIPE database software then the update processor can be told to produce diffs in the notification messages it sends. If it's a different database then I'm fairly sure it's quite easy to plug in. I just know that knowing what the change is is probably a dead useful feature.
The back end is IRRD. The NZRR requirements are simple and running the RIPE code simply got too hard. A good suggestion about the diffs and I know it's been asked for before. CityLink and I are planning to do some updates/changes to the software soon so that people can submit diffs as well as get them in the output etc. If you have any burning requirements let me know and I'll feed it into the mix. Joe's idea of a separate list has some merit - again let me know directly and I'll come back to the list with results. andy
