Hi Jared, You should give the new RADB portal a try. We were trying to do pretty much what you describe. Dont know what web2.0 is but the new portal is a web based object management system complete with "recommended" changes and inconsistency lists. We just added prefix allocation check with backend information from PCH (prefix checker tool). Prefix/acl generation is coming soon too stay tuned. Alert/ notification has been tested and we are figuring out how to roll it out on a larger scale. We are also starting to study whether the data itself has actually gotten any better since we put this web gui in place. -manish On Aug 12, 2009, at 6:55 PM, nanog-request@nanog.org wrote:

I've come to the conclusion that if someone put a nice web2.0+ interface on creating and managing these objects it would be a lot easier.
If there were a customer portal where you could visit to say "update my prefix-list/acl to include the following new prefix(es), and push the change /now/" I presume that would drive customer utilization of these services and allow people to manage things "better".
There are lots of leaks all the time, as can be evidenced by the leak detection stuff I set up here:
