No, I do not have one yet, but I am really, really keen to do one. It 
would be interesting to try at the very least, then I can donate it to 
opennic as well, if they do not already have previous arrangements (must 
search through the list history some more).

Of course, it is a given that should an implementation be completed by 
me, there will definitely be an integration option for my user and 
domain system.

Well, after using it on and off for ages, the last 4-5 months I've just 
been going crazy doing a whole lot of C and SQLite3 stuff. No additional 
service needs to run, it's extremely quick and painless (for me anyway) 
and can work seamlessly alongside other DB servers should you need it to.

Ahh, that is an interesting point.

Well, it would be a given that any kind of identifying data would be 
obfuscated first, but I thought some people out there might be 
interested in which TLDs are quite popular, how there is an increasing 
number of queries via the opennic system as public awareness grows, that 
kind of thing.

But hey, it was just an offer. If that is a bit of an awkward point at 
the moment, then no problem. I haven't started anything yet, just had a 
few mental points for implementation, but that's all.

Martin.
