they have their databases, but with everything else they have going on, they can maintain it, but if people don't tell them their new info, they kinda get lost by choice...
as far as an online database, i believe that was ruled out more because of security reasons. Making a members only section for everyone to have access to would pose a very serious security issue for their server, and everyone on it too... imagine all those usernames and passwords, no matter how sound the security behind the program is, it's only as secure as the passwords people use.
i personally don't think at this time that an online database with useful information and accessable to all tekes is a possibility first from security, and second, a project that large may take more staff time to update and maintain. just think about the lost password requests...
A database available to like the chapter prytanis and key volunteers might be a possibility, but that's still alot of security issues.
