Hi,
It sounds right. Maybe we can make the list show only names and places, where individuals are working/studying, to registered members. For private communication, I'd suggest to attach the displayed name with an internal mail function, which requires some little work. Personal information should not be revealed to the public, not even to the registered public. But do we actually have any personal information registered with the website. If so, I must have missed something; if not, the website needs to have its own account management function first.
The information you have on the website is whatever you provided when you registered for the mailing list. This is, in most cases, a name and your email address. The point is that revealing subscriber lists of mailing lists is usually frowned upon because spam bots will read the mailing list and send you lots of messages about things they want you to buy. That is why I'm reluctant to make it open, or even open only to subscribers (because a spammer could join with a plausible sounding name, copy the list of email addresses, and leave).
And congratulation for the 500 mark!
Thanks! We wouldn't have gotten here without all of you. (literally) ;-)
