AJ's question about data availability is embedded in Tommy1's question #7
7) What rules should be applied to the use of the database?
I am wondering if the word "database" is somewhat misleading? Sounds like the purpose of the effort is to collect data about people rather than build a community for action. The data collection that has been proposed is less than is required to sign up to receive information from or to become members of other internet sites.
I think a better word is "membership." As these discussions go forward, another question to be asked along with Tom's "what rules should be applied for use" is "what do people get for their membership?"
One example of a public membership list is right here on NeuroTalk under "Members List" above. When you click on any of our names, each individual can control the amount of information they want to reveal publicly.
These are some initial thoughts!
