I'm in favor of Tucows using their energy to produce a webserviceHmm, actually I have also created a domain registration SOAP ASP for our resellers :-) We are _multiplicating_ efforts :-))
accessible via SOAP or HTTPS. In fact I am working on such a project now
in VB.Net. That would be a platform and language neutral solution, which
also adheres to open standards. We(as in the dev community here) could
supply a variety of client software, opening up a whole new profit
center in the process. There are always the open source Perl and PHP
clients for those who want free software. The Tucows folks could
concentrate on adding features to the webservice like WS-Security, etc.
I was able to write a web client in a few hours for the amazon.com web service to search for books and CDs.
Windows is definitely the ugly stepchild here, we will fix that in a few months.
Of course, it would be nice to know what Tucows' plans are, so we are
not duplicating efforts.
