[mat-wg] Comments on RIPEstat

Just wanted to start a thread where people could contribute thoughts about RIPEstat.  

To get things started, here are a few things that occurred to me during the call this morning:

-- It's great that RIPEstat will now automatically refer you to more- or less-specific prefixes.  I had been using REX for some things for exactly that reason.

-- The slides mentioned confusion about inaccurate data in some boxes.  Since a lot of the information is from the RIPE DB, perhaps you could include a link that would allow the resource owner to correct errors?  With regard to geolocation in particular, maybe this could be integrated with the geolocation work the database team is doing:
<http://ripe62.ripe.net/presentations/143-DB_Update-62-final.pptx>

-- I realize that this is a RIPE tool, but it seems to be quite awkward with prefixes from other RIRs, particularly ARIN.  For instance, the allocation/assignment box fails to load (and presents a big red box) for any of the BBN prefixes I tried:
<http://stat.ripe.net/query/prefix-assignments/192.1.0.0/16>
Also, the WHOIS information ported from ARIN shows things like "
<http://stat.ripe.net/AS11488>
All of this is just to say that the tool should probably fail a little more gracefully.

-- The feature allowing you to move/hide boxes is good to have, but a little clunky. Perhaps you could do something like iGoogle where you can drag around, collapse, or hide boxes just using their title bars?

Again, thanks for your continued work on this!
