> Can you please elaborate on this? Do you mean sort of personalized dashboard?
No... I just want a way to filter people quickly by 'wants to learn' and 'wants to teach'. At first, I don't really care about the details of the person except for that info. So a table that can be filtered with some javascript would be great. Especially if you used something like chosen: http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen. That way, I can both see all the options as well as get autocomplete.
The idea is just that I want to know right away whether or not there is someone who I can help, and someone who can help me. Otherwise, it's a waste of time for me to register. It's like a dating site... I'm not going to register if there's no one available, in the hopes that the site will become popular later.
