I love the idea, but as usual, I have gripes:

* The team URL is bland. We are grouptalent.com/teams/61, but can't we be grouptalent.com/teams/hackthology instead?

* It wasn't clear what the "submit for approval" button was for, so one of my team members pressed it before he should have while we were entering data.

* Entering education is a bit cumbersome. My team is made of EE and CS students from CWRU in the BS, MS, and PhD programs, so our education section looks pretty weird.



Appreciated the feedback.

* I agree and we will most certainly add this feature.

* Currently we manually approve all teams and companies. After you submit you can still edit your team so no worries. We will think about the flow.

* Profiles are something we are going to be constantly iterating on and we'll think of something to make situations like that smoother.


So what about a team of people who have not worked together formally in a company before? I know several people who attend various programming and user groups around town (in this case Portland, OR) and there are some I'd really like to work with and I think we'd work well together as a team. Is there a way for a team like this to form?


Yes, there definitely is. We are trying to structure the team profiles to capture types of experience like this.
