Ok, so far with this we have:
* User can create an account and login/logout.
* User can check if a domain is available. If so, they can register it.
* User registers it and their basic details (name, email, user ID), 
along with the domain itself plus their host choice (CNAME, A, NS, 
presented in user friendly format) goes to the backend.
* User can view all their currently registered domains at any time.
* User can update the host pointer at any time.
* User can update their email and/or password in the user management 
system at any time.

The above is working and tested right now. The 2-3 members here who 
expressed interest in looking at it will receive a copy directly 
sometime tonight. I want to limit the initial release of it at the 
moment while it is tested and attempts to "break it" are made. After 
that, a more public link will be made available to others here who may 
want it, given to the opennicproject.org webmaster, etc.

What is in prototype stage:
* A basic query engine that can provide the user's name, email address, 
plus date of registration of any specific domain that it knows about. 
This is not even interfacing with any sockets yet, so don't get too excited.

What still needs a little polish:
* Back-end processor. This properly prepares the data extracted from the 
domain database for writing the zone file. There is some extra 
processing and basic error checking that I want it to do first.

That's the progress report for the moment.

Martin.
