Everyboy seems very happy about the price in here!!! I can agree to the fact that OpenSRS resellers get more than "just domain names" but is also true that the market moves... and moves cheaper. OpenSRS has not varied its price since the beginning (I beleive) but they have obviously multiplied various times the number of domains registered = benefits. I do not really see why these should not revert into who made it possible... us. It would be very reasonable that a certain point... after certain number of domains registered, volume or any other formula... net price could drop one or two dollars at least. If we do not "move" others will. It's not only godaddy anymore, there are more and more companies selling domains at <10$ and maybe we all end up noticing it.
As for the rest... I understand the current API specs policy... rather then "premade code" is the correct one, so I will not agree there. More than 1 year for transfers... seems a very good idea. At OpenSRS end doing the process of transfer+renewal seems relatively easy and would give this option to all of us with out further implementations.
