The application 343 used at St Louis was actually WASH, which is closely tied into SOAP. We ask teams to help us gather data using our Palm & PC apps, then we upload all the data we capture to SOAP so everyone can view it.
It is not possible to merge the two databases (at least this year), but it is possible for 312 to share their data with SOAP (but it may be too late this year). SOAP will take scouting information from any source and distribute it through their giant database. They are currently set up to handle data from WASH and GMCIA and are always looking for other sources.
We should all get together in FL to talk about possibilities for collaboration next year. There are a range of possibilities from merging the two tools to gathering our own data and swapping database files. Whatever we decide on 312 should definately work closely with SOAP next year so their data gets uploaded and is available to everyone.
As always, feel free to add more Kenny.
