GTDConnect is an awesome site with lot's of awesome value to it. If you had full control and could do anything you wanted what one feature or benefit would you add to the GTDConnect membership package?

Instead of clicking on a member name and getting the drop-down menu from the forum, it would be neat if every forum post had a "Get to know me" button on every member post that would take a reader immediately to their profile.
This (or something like this) would make it more like a group of real people. It often helps me to know more about someone when I read their posts. It's my way of putting what they say into the context of the writer as a PERSON.
I'm such an HR geek

Many, many members are very stealth on the Forums, choosing to just use a screen name. That's just fine too!

Set up an area for users to upload photos with an easy way to view thumbnails of those photos by uploader, tag, recently uploaded. Add facility for users to comment and tag those photos (as in Flickr and it's successors). this helps build a community.
Set up an area for users to create and edit wiki pages. This would be a great way to handle some of the recurring questions and country-specific topics. It could become a very powerful resource which the community creates.
Set up an area for each individual users to blog on their own history with GTD, progress with implementing GTD, difficulties encountered, pleas for help and advice, comments on others blogs.
Add RSS feeds to these community content so that other users could track changes to others photo collections, wikis and blogs.
Make users more conscious of profiles and makes profiles easier to view, for example by a Javascript code which shows the profile whenever your mouse point hovers over the users name in a forum messages etc.

We've wanted to get to this for awhile; today's the day. You will now see a date in the upper-left corner of Latest Activity, and also beside the links for all lists of tagged content (click on a tag in the cloud to see what I mean). Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers,
Robert

I'd been noodling (a technical term for thinking intently and randomly) about ways to make the "case study" idea more prominent. Right now we can all post photos and write up descriptions in the Forums, but it does tend to get lost quickly in a sea of comments. I'd like to find a way so people can have an easy way to get back to the original write up/photos/case study to start to build a rich gallery of these.

That's a great way of summarising it. The emphasis being on the ability for members to create and share content.
