Default Plant Swap Solution

Hi BV:

First thought that comes to mind is the border restrictions between the US
and Canada. When listing/asking for plants a field that asks for location
would be a good idea. In the description people could put a link to their
own sites if they have pictures. (Used to be a programmer)

A few weeks back somebody suggest an on-line plant swap system would be a
great thing to have. I mulled the idea over and I have a design ready. I
plan to start coding it soon, and it will be added a free tool to
iheartmypond.com. I realize it is probably a bad idea to discuss vaporware
on a newsgroup, but I wanted to get an idea for what features you, as a
friendly porg, would be interested in seeing.

I am basically envisioning, you login and are able to post an ad either as

a
want or as a have. The ads will then be listed by category as we have all

of
our content now (but on a seperate page). You'd also be able to search

using
keywords. Your ad would include a link to your email address (considering
alternatives to this to help prevent spam) so you could contact the

poster.

Any thoughts?
