From year to year, as people are trying to contact other teams because of various reasons, especially scouting, lots of those people posted on this forum asking for contact information of specific teams.

I think we can save a lot of those postings if we have a master contact list. I know for some years there have been such list, but recently FIRST discontinue such list.

I can see the main reason for discontinuing the list is security reason. So, what I suggest we do is something like what Ben is doing here. A master list of contacts from every team that visit this forum that can only be viewed by ourselves.

We can either have some person in charge of such list, and all requests of contacts will go through him, or have a list on a web page with a login/password. The first option will require a few dedicated persons that can be reached through e-mail at all time, while the second option can be accomplished right here at the Chief Delphi web page (everyone can use their account's login/password to login in the contacts page).

No matter what method we use, a list of e-mail contacts will still be really useful to lots of teams...
