[Peter Finke]

Big Tom, you did a big thing, just not asking but doing!
But I think one information should be added to each name: (nearest) town. Not more, no detailed address; that would be problematic in respect of data security. The nearest town would suffice and be enough. If there are special enquiries to contact the nearest Paro-friend, we could inform the person asking that question just as we do at present. But for many people it would help to see the clusters and the diaspora at one glance.
Tom, you added your spec. Sentang. Well, that might be done, too, but this personal stock will vary more or less rapidly; I fear a bit too old informations on that. The town is much more needed than the specific species, I think. But why not as an additional information? One only has to bear in mind that one should renew that species names if and when necessary.
I think it’s a very good idea to add a category “location” to the log-in-informations. Of course, we had to supplement that information for the hitherto members, at least we should try to achieve that goal, but all new people would see that category as obligatory to be filled out. And indeed, the usefulness of our network would be much more obvious to all who come new.
Then, when it’s quite filled up with names and locations, we could place it under the “maps”-button.
Helene, what do you think? That’s the solution, I think! Thanks to Sylvia, Bill and Tom! Or what do you think?
And then of course do the same for America and Asia!
