I would think having it as a part of the kanga.nu website with the rest of
the
materials would be good.  The other thing I would find to be of benefit
would
be if someone wanted to donate the time and experience to make it into
something that we could update ourselves.  Go to url X and put in your
password perhaps, and then update your info.  At any rate, that's my
thought.

I agree, I think it's useful, and I think it would be more useful in a
searchable
website so that when we want to look up someone that just replied or posted,
we can find them quickly, and see what their background is.  Very useful in
understanding someone's perspective on an issue.
