When we first started creating STAMP these questions were discussed. The conclusion we came to is that this user should be left up to the user, not the developers. That being said, I can give you some more information that might better the answer.
What should be apparent: someone has to enter this data. The best way to do it is with a team of 6 scouters, one following each robot. What people DO with this data is up to them. Some teams may choose to make it public, others may not.
As for working with other teams, feel free! STAMP is set up with user accounts just for this purpose. Talk with other teams that will be attending your regional and create a joint scout team! We know that 6 people is a pretty hefty amount to spare from one's team, so get together with 1 or 2 other teams and your down to 3 or 2. Just as an example, 492 worked with 93 at nationals on Newton to gather data.
Pretty much it all comes down to the user's choice. We are not going to say that you MUST share. Sharing is great, it is certainly GP and if that is what you are shooting for then go right ahead. We see the STAMP dev team as just that, a dev team. It is up to you to choose how you use it.
In that vein what regional(s) is/are your team attending? If you are headed over to the PACNW in Portland we could certainly work something out. When STAMP v2 starts going into development I expect people to post threads in the scouting section about hooking up, so if you are not coming to PACNW and are interested in working with another team then feel free to be the first.
