I'd bet that now we have a lot more non-NYC based folks in the  
community than we all realize.

In the early days we were mostly in NYC but we're everywhere now.  I'd  
love if we had a member database and we could all find each other.   
Should we try something like Ning to pull us together or is there some  
decent membership database software we could pop into our site?
