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.



The capability already exists in the wiki (http://www.rotarywiki.org)
to add a personal page, or any other page you like.  That page can
contain any information you believe is pertinent.  The page can also be
linked to.

However, for this application, I think modifying the rotary roster to
include a link to the name is a better solution.  The data base is
already there and it has a LOT of data in it.  It would be a shame to
have to duplicate the whole thing again.  The update cycle is a problem
with the roster.  I don't know if Dave L is updating the roster while
on his government paid middle east vacation but I have had no problems
with vandalism on the wiki site with the only protection being a valid
email address required to log in.  BTW, Dave is a lucky guy.  I just
checked his blog and found that he was dealt a royal flush while
playing 5 card stud! WOW!
