Possible uses:
- Create an RSVP form/database
- Member driven list/database of must read articles or books
- Member driven list of fun books read
- Personal use - create your own catalog!
Databases can be either private (must log in for access) or public (anyone can view) Potential drawbacks for the public versions are that they are indexed by search engines, and if you allow users to add, edit, or delete records, one disgruntled person can wipe out or add false information. Still, a potentially useful application that does not require advanced programming skills, just a little thought in form layout.
