+1 to Andrew - if I want to contact someone I go to the paper, not the
directory and if it reduces workload it is good :)

Hi All,

Sorry I have been AWOL recently.  I am teaching this semester and  
that has been all consuming!  We have had some hardware issues with  
our opensource website and over the Fall we moved over to a new  
machine.  Then since much of the old machine was running on via "glue  
code" -- we have had some database connectivity issues recently.   
Needless to say I am working with some smart MIT undergrads to fix  
this ASAP.  This will make the paper submission process very smooth  
and automated.  I hope.  More details as they become available.

Best

Karim

Hello All,

As part of our audit on the software running opensource.mit.edu - we  
have come across an issue where I would like some community input.   
In particular I am thinking about eliminating the researcher  
directory.  I generates on average 15 spam entries per day - with the  
record being 223 on one day.  Its quite a chore to approve and  
disapprove these entries - how do people feel about the elimination  
of the researcher directory - note this will not impact our paper  
repository one bit...

Tx

Karim

Hi Karim,

I understand this issue...
I've a suggestion (but I guess you've already thought about it):
- Why not build a private zone with membership validation via an email.
- Reject any email not linked with an active member

Would the following be possible?
- The new "smooth and automated" paper submission process takes author
details.
- The way to add yourself to the researcher directory is to submit a paper
(or to be co-author of a submitted paper).
- Keep the content of the existing researcher directory, but close the
existing entrance, thus removing the need for a guard at the door.
I don't think I've ever contacted anyone through the researcher directory -
thought I have sent comments to authors of papers living at the site.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
ps congrats, Karim, on your appointment @HBS.

Karim is doing really well at HBS - teaching cases for the first time - 
brilliantly!  :)
I call him up occasionally to tease him about how hard he is working (he 
really is)
AND - after the first of the year he will be back at research full steam!
