If we had a social network, people could post whatever they want, find others to talk with, etc. The negative of this is that it requires going to the social network to engage. I'm not crazy about Ning for this reason.
I think this would be challenging, phone conference calls are tough. Might be easier to have a forum, in which you could leave your contact information, and willing parties could offer aid, and comment on your post.
Adam, Good idea--why don't you suggest a forum by clicking "New Idea" at the top?
I generally like this method although I think it could get a bit tedious if there were too many people posting. It would be like a listserv archives in that case. If only a couple dozen people were posting, it might be possible to follow a thread. That's my initial reaction. Of course, the need to go to yet another web site is a tic on the negative side. (This is just a more specific example of "asynchronous communication", right?) - Seth!
I agree with Nina about the down-sides of Ning, however, if we set up an RSS feed, at least people can use it to keep track of new posts. I find that I loose track of some of the discussions in this format, as in forums. There are just too many ways to post information and too many threads to track.

Yes! I would love this!
Eh. This one's not for me.
