All reviewers and their area(s) of review privileges are already publicly
available. I am in complete support of this information being publicly
available and support that part of Russ' initial sentiment.
Go to this page (eBird Review standards
<http://help.ebird.org/customer/en/portal/articles/1822748-ebird-review-standards?b_id=1928>)
,at the bottom of the page is a link to a PDF (
eBird_Review_Tool_and_Filter_Instructions_28Jan2015.pdf
<http://help.ebird.org/customer/portal/kb_article_attachments/46837/original.pdf?1422416755>),
and on pg 5 of the pdf you will find a link to a google doc where all
reviewers and their area(s) of review privileges are specified. Here is
that link; Reviewers <http://bit.ly/1CFRUlX>
Matt, since eBird Central published and maintains this list the answers to
your questions are but an email away. Although i'm sure Brian will chime
in as he is a member of this list as well.
So what's the point in duplication?
Personally, I really don't want to be associated with the OFO, so i would
appreciate keeping my name off of it's website. I volunteer my time to the
Cornell eBird project and do not want to be co-opted by the OFO. In this, i
do not support the second part of Russ' sentiment, to post reviewer
information directly to the OFO website. Perhaps you could just put up a
link to the existing document instead.
For the sake of transparency, just so you folks know, i consider Joel as a
very dear friend.

The OBA website already has names and email of OBA board members and past
presidents. I don't think these folks have been contacted by any spammers,
etc.
I agree that an email is sufficient. No phone numbers.

I'm okay having my name and email published, although if there is some way
to prevent advertisers, scammers, or marketers from harvesting my
information I'd appreciate it.

Russ, I agree. Doug, Joel already knows you are the reviewer for Benton
County, so nothing is gained by keeping the list off OBOL.

I don't mind either except I will get slaughtered by Joel Geier. But what
else is new?

Sounds good to me. W/emails? Probably not phone #s.
I'm interested to know if Brian or others have seen such public listings
before and if it is beneficial, any problems, etc. In any case it's fine
w/me to have my name and email on such a list.

Hey all,
I think we should make the eBird reviewer list public on the OBA website.
Any thoughts?
