A truffle project to simplify using and testing of the ENS registrar described here: ethereum/EIPs#162

For this purpose, you'll likely want to change the Registrar contract's auctionLength and revealPeriod variables to something shorter (ie. 10 and 5 minutes).

To deploy and interact with the Registrar as a web3js object:

$ truffle migrate
 
$ truffle console

truffle(default)> Registrar.deployed().abi // we have a Registrar
[ { constant: false,
    inputs: [ [Object] ],
    name: 'releaseDeed',
    outputs: [],
    payable: false,
    type: 'function' },
  { constant: false,
    inputs: [ [Object] ],
    name: 'invalidateName',
....

truffle(default)> Registrar.deployed().startAuction(.... // 

Suggestion: Try playing opening an auction for your own name, and playing through the timeline in the "Auctioning names" section of the ERC.
