Yes, what Erin described is exactly as SOAP, (and FEDS, and even the CogSquad) have their site set up. What we need is a database with simple input and output methods, with a standard developed. Such a thing shouldn't be made overly complexed.. basically all we need is a XML accessable database where people can add, and retrieve information seamlessly. And a How-To information site, (the scouting site), on how to add and retrieve.
Palm programs, and web portals should be up to individual teams, and other teams should adopt other teams methods of scouting input. (ie Heatwave's PocketPC app). Teams should then be able to go to Heatwave's Site, or SOAPs, or whatever, and see that information added via PocketPC. This should not be a complete site that takes up the entire role of Scouting... what else would be left for teams to do? If they can't do what they want, why would they adopt?

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.
