We have learned that students, in general, care little about the external appearance of their building, not about high-end finishes within.

If you could import a .csv file of contacts instead of copying and pasting them all manually it would be very helpful too.Good point.. some social networking sites will also contain a link to externally scan your address book in gmail / hotmail to add your contacts if they are members, or invite them if they are not.But for me, I would be happy if we just have a "search for a member by email address" function!
