  • FRL-1033.003 (Automatic config of points)

    From Nil Alexandrov@2:5015/46 to Michiel van der Vlist on Fri Oct 23 21:20:50 2020
    Hello, Michiel!

    Thursday October 22 2020 16:17, from Michiel van der Vlist -> Dale Barnes:

    Does anyone know if the above ever got off the ground or any type
    of automatic point config currently exists in any form for any of
    the systems out there?

    The question is if there a PoC (Prove of Concept) implementation of this standard and anybody really uses it?

    Search the nodelist for the CDP user flag.

    Another interesting approach the author of a popular Android FTN app called HotDogEd took is a new REST API with some XML scheme for a point request, refer to the doc here http://hotdoged.propush.ru/docs

    Best Regards, Nil

    Hello Carol,

    On Saturday October 31 2020 11:24, you wrote to me:

    But I do not know the details. That is why I suggested contacting
    the sysops that carry a CDP flag.

    Wasn't that the one that was voted to remove, over your and my objections?

    Nope. There never was a vote about the flag. The flag is still in use and it mentioned in FTS-5001.006

    There /was/ a vote about promoting FSP-1016.001 to a standard. I voted in favour but the majority of the FTSC members rejected it. And so it ended up FRL-1033.

    Not every proposal makes it into a standard.


    Cheers, Michiel


    Ah ok.
