All good webmasters know how much information to give to those helping.

Besides, those that are good enough to do what you suggest, are also good enough to do it without a backdoor. The coding on the site isn't as secure as you think (this I derived through my knowledge of general programming, not a fact).

The general idea of my post is "organization", not hacking. Thanks for the input though. Since, as most of us think, this is from microsoft, they should be able to handle my request fairly easily.

I also feel I am somewhat ignorant in my idea of reaching into the community. The coding gamem8ster has done thus far on the site is far greater then the coding required for my suggestion.

If it is M$ promoting OC, then it's full of holes anyway (just like IE )

And you could just tell the person what language to write the program in, then have it sent in. Someone could then read through/scan the code, making sure that it's safe to upload before putting it online. It would make more sense to write it in-house though, just to be safe. I think outsourcing this kind of thing in such a large community is just asking for trouble.

That said, I think that the idea is a good one. I also think that there should be a memberlist viewable by all colony members. Nothing fancy, put it onto a blank, unformatted page if necessary to cut down on bandwidth usage. But I believe that this would also help to organise the communities better.

Edit: For some reason I have a feeling that this makes little to no sense, is it just me?
