First I wanted to mention I am glad to read Bjorn's message about adding some content to the network.
Keeping in contact is key. Be that a coordinator or any host on the amprnet. Seems every few months on here we are discussing how someone is sending out random packets, and a straight forward way to get a hold of people would be helpful.
Some time back it was brought up to have a whois server or something like that. I bet I can guess the status of that.
As for everyone having an ampr.org email address, perhaps a forwarding service like the arrl.net addresses? Then there is the possible spam problem, and the fact that someone would need to set up such a service.
Overall a lot of good ideas are brought up on this list, so few ever happen. The only solution I am offering is everyone should help spread the word and try and get more people involved with moving this network forward. I wish I had better coding skills.
One of the core problems at least in my country where the ampr/44net space is not well utilized is the lack of higher speed equipment to build a network. You really have to be part of a well organized club with site connections to do anything microwave on any big scale from what I have seen.

Steve, Yeah I am just waiting on access to the API that I requested on Jun 19th last year, so that I can run daily queries to gather all the information I need to fully populate the rwhois server that I built a long time ago. Other then that the rwhois server has been working great.

Tim, if you’re waiting on access to the API why have you not chased me for it? FYI, the API is fully documented on the Portal, and access to the API is available to anyone who has an account on the Portal, so tbh I am not sure what you are waiting for, but making comments such as above on this mailing list is not particularly helpful.

I don't recall the details of Tim's request last year, but as far as I can tell the portal API does not have an endpoint that contains all the data needed for an rwhois server. You would need all of the allocated networks, not just those with an IPIP gateway in the encap file.
Coincidentally, this is the same portal API feature I requested on 21 December 2015.

The only working solution for this is to open source the portal. Why are you so steadfastly against this?
Tim,
You just need to log into the portal and get your API key under Home->Profile (Security details)...

Charles, The rwhois server is not for "Verifying the identities of IP coordinators" (current subject line), but rather identifies who is the owner of a specific IP or IP block is. The server is up and working and as people send me assignments I add them, but as far as integration with the core AMPRnet database that seems to have died.
