I had understood that another use-case for such a database is when an
external
organisation (e.g. a local library in some city where there
is no
Chapter presence) asks for a local Wikimedian to come and give a
presentation or advice on how to get involved. Such a database
(IIRC) should
be able to produce a list of people who a) live in that local area,
b) are
happy/able to give public presentations and c) know about the specific
subject being requested e.g. Wikisource.
