I'm at the very beginning of the process of making improvements to the Route Database, namely collecting feedback. I'll also consult a lot of other folks, including DDT, sangiro, Tim (where the hell is Tim?), and the Gossamer developers. This will be a long process involving research, budget concerns and, I'm sure, plenty of frustration on my part. But hey, we have to start somewhere, so what say we get crackin' with a good old fashioned free-wheeling brainstorm?

Let me hear what you think of RC.com's RDB. Nothing is off limits. Nothing is out of the question. What works for you? What doesn't? What functionality do you think should stay? What should go? What should we add?

PS - I know this is the wrong forum, but I feel it needs front-page billing. I'll move it to S&F further down the road. I'm signing off for the evening, BTW. I'll check back in tomorrow.

Here's my input

RC.com does not own the information submitted. It should be just as easy for the OWNER of the info to delete it as it is add it. Any revenues derived from the routes db should be shared amongst the contriibutors. Photos and TRs should NOT be REQUIRED to be linked to a FOR PROFIT website routes database. RC.com should take a Summitpost.com approach to freely submitted information - it is the HOST, not the OWNER of the data and MUST SEEK PERMISSION to do ANYTHING with that data other than what the contributor expressly agreed to upon submission. The work MAY NOT BE SOLD. Period.

Anything less than this is theft.
