db-help Mailinglist

Hi there!

I just want to ask if there is going to be a db-help mailinglist to
reduce the unnecessary traffic to hostmaster at ripe.net and to shorten
the wait queue.

I think this mailinglist would really be helpfull - at least if it's
existence will be propagated at a prominent place (i.e. the RIPE
website).

Because nowadays many people tend not to actually read documentation
and instead use the "easy" way of just asking questions to any
mailaddress that seems suitable (and even to those not so suitable).
Even so I think a FAQ and a step-by-step documentation of the "10 most
frequent actions with the RIPE DB" is really a good idea I think we
should also create this mailinglist - and if it's just for the sake of
pointing people to the right documents. ;)

So I propose, to get things going, to have something like a
strawpoll/show of hands who is willing to participate on such a
mailinglist.

Count this mail as the first hand up. ;)


Sincerely yours, Hank
