Huh?  What's secret about it?  If the link is part of one's sig-line, everyone
who gets your message will see the URL.
 
I was referring to the past, not the proposed. The above makes sense to me.


 
You are looking at the "whole" list.  I only had two builder's data to work 
with, at the moment.  Scroll up or down from whichever one you started
with to see everyone else's.
 
Pardon my relative web-niavity. I finally got it. (I think)

That's a little more difficult.  Letting folks add their own information
requires allowing them "edit" privileges to the site.  The only _practical_
way I know of doing that is something like the Wiki.  I'll defer to our
Wikipedia expert as to whether this is a suitable format for a Wiki page.
 
Understood, but that doesn't make it undesirable.


My intention was to compile the data from submissions and manually
update as necessary (shouldn't be too often, I'd guess)  the same way
the Rotary Roster is currently maintainedL
 
According to what I now see the list looks really good. I guess my problem was not really being hit between the eyes that such a list was in existence. According to some of the other posts, I was not alone.

Recognize that this level of detail is entirely dependent on the discipline of
the builder to provide it.  I can lay out a "form" - Ed's is a good start - but,
if the Rotary Roster is any indication, not everyone will "fill in" all the
blocks.
 
Understood. That is a loss for all of us.


Rich, it's only _data_.  I think you have too high hope for what a simple
list can do.  What discloses the problems is the individual reports we
get from the builders - *way* too much data to put in a simple table.
 
So let's put our collective heads together and with the probable computer knowledge available from this group, find a way. (Didn't they say that man would never fly?)
 
Rich  (really appreciative of what you have done, Dale, looking for possible expansion)
