Hello all,
When I get an inquiry about calling for a gig that I can't do, I often refer them to the same handful of local callers that I know. But it's not always the most useful if the inquiry came from far away.
I've been thinking about trying to create a caller database; with geographic home-base of caller and contact information.
I know there are lists of callers
out there, such as Charlie's excellent contra dance links and Dance
Gypsy. I was thinking it would be useful to have it in database format
where it could be sorted and filtered.
I'd also like for folks to be able to submit themselves, as opposed to having to compile them.
I've
taken a first pass at creating a google form that allows people to
submit information; with a linked spreadsheet that would allow people to
filter based on what they're looking for (both geographically and dance
style). My hope is to eventually develop a front end to help filter that information, but for now I'm just sharing it in a database.
As a caller, would you fill it out? As an organizer, would you use it? Is there any information I've missed that you'd want, or something I've included you'd rather not have?
