unnecessary function?  Come on.  whois and info about availability of 
domains is the most basic requirement if you are a domain reseller or 
purchaser.

it's valuable to me and anyone else who's using the GUI.
i do low volume.
i've been using the gui for 3 years.  I like it.
i prefer to use opensrs whois.
don't want to put in a password each time, since the web interface is 
now password required.

i think this is a reasonable request.  As a reseller, i expect to be 
able to access an unencumbered whois and availability of domain info.

Peter, Ross, Elliot,

time to chime in?

Remember folks, the quickstart GUI is just there to give someone new a
"quickstart" to using OpenSRS while they get their client side processing
up and running.
It appears some folks may be using quickstart as their only (and
permanent) method for using OpenSRS.  I cannot figure out why someone
would want to keep using the quickstart interface for much more than a few
weeks.  The cost of doing business is much greater by manually processing
orders via quickstart than it is when automatically processing via client
side scripts.
