Well, since that isn't happening, why not finish yours and then once a BYOAC-hosted solution is available you could work out a data export?

Ok, I've got a couple of different approaches to a solution.

One of them is a modified version of Mr. Arcades which incorporates different tree's for different countries.

Another which I think is a better solution and allows for user accts for web administration is a modified version of PML which is a free license web DB for cataloging movies. I have redone fields to match our needs and it supports the use of pictures that can be submitted to go in a profile type view as suggested in this thread You can view this version HERE. If this turns out to be what we use, there are quite a few enhancements that will be done and improvements made to design.

I would appreciate any feedback on the use of this.

Thanks,

Goz:
I didnt want to enter all of the data from the old people finder into the MySQL database unless we were sure this is what we were going to use. I added just the Californians that are already in the current people finder.

Again any feedback is appreciated.

Chris:
Maybe we're taking the wrong approach to this.

Most of the information we need is right in the existing BYOAC profile... if we could just get people to fill out their location and have an easy way of listing by location, we wouldn't need a separate databse.  Of course, location would need to be separated into City, State, and Country to make them searchable or sortable....
