forum or map-enabled interface for identifying future fieldwork plans

From Dede Olson: To facilitate cooperation and coordination, let users indicate time and places or taxa they are planning to do field work or sampling so people can contact each other to coordinate or do complementary (non- redundant) work.

Brings up issues of how to manage such a community so we should seek ways to integrate networks or platforms people already use (eg. Google +, Google Maps, Twitter, etc-- not suggesting these but as examples). Possibly offsite or light API integration.

I'm inclined to G+ closed community - just need to see if there's an API for invites.
