Your Profiles on Concrete5
Permalink
Hi,
After attending the 1st UK C5 meet-up, I thought I would a good idea to see what members are in my local area.
But when searching no-one was found for my County and not many people seem to appear for United Kingdom.
I know there are probably more C5ers closer to me but I am unable to tell.
What are people's views on entering some more detail to their account profiles?
I am only talking about Country, and possible County (state/prov) to help us all try and identify people like ourselves closer to home.
It could help with future meet-ups and collaborations in the future.
So what do you think?
Is there a reason you have not entered the information yourself?
I would love to hear what you all think.
Take care, Steve

Would we want the state and/or country to be required?
Should we leave as is and maybe have the C5 site send out email requests for the information and the reasons it would/could help them and the community as a whole?

I am of 2 opinions of that.
1. To help in organizing and trading off contracts and meetups, I would like to have it as a requirement.
2. As to privacy, I know a lot of folks just don't want that information out there.
There are just way too many options we can do for this sort of thing and the biggest hurtle would be to convince Franz and Andrew of the need. Then we would have to convince the community as a whole.
Thoughts?

I know what you mean, they are my thoughts too, hense the discussion.
Hopefully more members will add their thoughts, and so might Franz and Andrew.

well of course i don't think we could get away with making that required, but I agree it would be awfully nice to have.
What if we brought back the inspector block? In an older version of concrete CMS we had a block that would look at unanswered profile questions and occasionally ask visiting members to answer one at a time. It was a really elegant way to get profile data out of people without making them jump through hoops.

When you say older, you mean before 5.0?
That would be a cool block.

That sounds wonderful if that could happen :)
Do you know when you guys would be able to schedule doing something like this?

yeah we will get started on that one, I had forgotten all about it.
That is great news. I look forward to its implementation.
ST/Province/County and Country isn't all that bad to be a requirement but I can understand the privacy thing.
