The rdap tool needs a mailing list

[noloader]

Hi Everyone.

Thanks for working on a WHOIS replacement.

I'd like to make a suggestion. Please provide a mailing list for users to discuss topics, like how to use the tool correctly.

Based on personal experience, I am used to certain information when running whois example.com. The problems I am encountering is, I can't seem to obtain the same information from rdap example.com or rdap --whois example.com. And my attempts to use the tool [more correctly?] after reading https://www.openrdap.org/docs results in more frustration, like the results from rdap --type=entity example.com. If there was a mailing list, I'm sure I would already have the answer.

Google Groups is a great place to provide a mailing list. Once you set it up it basically runs itself.

It is also worth mentioning I have several GitHub projects myself. The important projects have first class mailing lists that can be indexed and searched. A bug reporter is not an appropriate venue to ask questions.

So please, please provide a mailing list for users.

Well...are you sure this tool is still maintained?

Hey @noloader! Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely think there could be value in this. Let me have a think about the best way to approach this. I'm used to using Mailman 3, so perhaps that's an option.

@q2dg it is now! :)
