Even Though I fully agree with the need for a haiku object, because I am not sure of my limmericks (LIM-ROSE LIM-FRIENDS LIM-STRESS) I don't think the creation of an haiku object -per se- might be the solution. Mayhaps can we reuse the limerick objects and use the remarks field with one of the possible value : HAIKU, for haiku SONNET for such PROSE for freestyle poetry .... Therefore not only would we satisfy : - sysadmin that like well labelled object for easier retrieval, - poets for increasing their potentiality, - RIPE dba for not chaging the actual object. And if an object was to be created I would propose on the model of limerick object whois -t poem poem: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [optional] [multiple] [ ] text: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] author: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] type: [mandatory] [single] [ ] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] Where type would be one of the folllowing : LIMERICK, PROSE, QUATRAIN, SONNET, HAIKU, ASCII-ART ... Such a solution would broadly sataisfy any sysadmin wanting to express his art freely. For managers I would propose a MEMO object too. Because, the whois DB might be the fully legitimate place for such a thing, the last place where you are gonna search for such an abomination. ;) Regards, Julien Tayon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
