I think the main goal of FSN should be creating, coordinating, and maintaining the centralized database for FIRST teams. As well as develope a standard for all of the different scouting databases to work off of so that they are all compatable. In addition to that the goal should also be to make scouting easier for all first teams weither it be by releasing the data to the public in non digital forms at competitions or developement of front ends for the software. This secondary goal should not become more important than the first and primary goal.
The important thing to keep in mind is that since FSN is sharing with the public the database the public should make it its job to share with everyone else programs to use the database. Ie. Palm Scouting software and software in every concievable format and complexity.
Thats my idea.
