The idea behind the approach was to raise awareness of the project and get it as widely spread as possible. The name "Pinder" is a lot more eye catching than "peering communication streamlining tooling" or similar. Now that the issue is more widely known, it may come back to bite me for doing so... However, I in no way expect PeeringDB to keep up with the silliness I brought about during the "marketing" of our project ;) > I know some people are working on YANG modeling for peering interactions > on the layer-8 level, I can see a the pinder approach as viable too.

For now I view this as a social experiment, fair? :-) > I've not come across that, but we use a YANGy/OpenConfigy style interface internally. I'd not considered it for something like this precisely because I think the barrier to entry needs to be as low as humanly possible so that networks new to peering, and those that do not have the resources to commit to a fully automated solution are able (and encouraged) to use the system. It is for sure a social experiment. A mighty successful one if I might be so bold... I realise this isn't going to be a live feature in PeeringDB (or alternative solution) in the next couple of weeks, but I'd like to think that with the conversation started that PeeringDB would be considered a natural fit for this tooling... Or at least if the board do not decide to pursue it then someone seeks to take the idea and run with it. I think it's safe to say that "Pinder" as a project is conceptual only -- there's some fantastic demonstrations of integration in there, but a real implementation needs some substantial pondering before being taken forward. I am more than willing to help out, and I'll take a more "mature" approach to guerrilla marketing if that's what you'd prefer ;) M
