Hmm! seems that there are 1 or 2 problems to be overcome. However these aren't insurmountable, question is is it worth it? I think that a database / list of contacts would be a useful resource to have, if there's enough interest I'll have a go, unless someone more web savvy wants to take it on. I'm no expert when it comes to web design! If the interest isn't there then we can kill it at this stage. Another possibility would be to use Yahoo groups, not as an alternative forum to this, but just to use the database, file upload & chat facilities that they offer. That might be an "off the shelf" solution.
What are your thoughts?
