Or how about just text. I've often thought it would be a good idea
to share the various phone numbers we all have -- the only problem
is keeping the list up to date. As these numbers change quite a bit,
some verification needs to be put in place.
Perhaps a text based list, in a given format, with a "last verified"
date included. That would give the person using it some expectation
of the validity of the number. If each contributor of a number would
verify the numbers before contributing them, the work would be
distributed, and would stand some chance of making the idea a reality.
If the format (schema) is set to something specific, people can do
what they want with the information -- push it on to pilots, etc.
