This is a tricky question - how many people are OKFners? Is it the people actively involved in Working and Local Groups? Is it the Advisory Board and everyone on this discussion list? Is it the people who regularly check in on http://blog.okfn.org/ to see what we've been up to? I think the answer is 'yes to all the above and more', but it's difficult to count us all, let alone create a directory :-)
Stef's comment about legal / contractual is a good point, and voluntary and opt-in is a good start! Nigel's 'vouching' is a good plan too, but keeping any sort of directory brings certain responsibilities to look after the personal data of those on it - even with the opt-in it's not clear, as people can't really opt-in to sharing with groups and individuals they don't know yet (or maybe they can...). Anyway, Tom (and others) I would love to hear your thoughts on how to do this - it would be great to enable more recognition of our amazing community!
