[sllug-members]: email/pim wanted

[Clint Savage]

Robert,

This sounds like something I am intrigued by overall.  My father does
similar things each year with his baseball league.

I think LDAP would actually be a good solution for the core of this
problem.  Could you provide more detail?  I am very interested in providing
such a solution with a FOSS type license so I can give people like my dad
tools that can help them manage large groups of semi-related information.

Cheers,

Clint
