Note the time, 01:40:47. Your dedication to the good cause is laudable,
Zvi!

Another useful field could be your skype ID. I don't know if many people
use Skype, but if you're only going to show fields that have a value set,
you might as well include this data. I myself like Skype a lot, especially
for international phonecalls.

Something else I noticed is that members are now sorted alphabetically by
first name. That makes sense, as many members haven't provided a full
name, but only a nick or nothing at all (in which case their email address
is used). Some attention is perhaps needed with names that are written as
"Lastname Firstname" (French people have a tendency to use that format).
It makes searching a bit more cumbersome, but I guess if people can enter
their own full name, this can't be helped, unless you require two separate
fields for first and last name. Anyway, it's not a big issue.

I'm looking forward to seeing the viewing part of the New Improved members
page. Good job, Zvi!

Cheers,
Garmt.
