Outstanding idea movingfeet.
The site should have the following:
1) An introduction and short description of the person.
2) A 'what I'm looking for' section
3) Basic information (location is up to the discretion of the individual though can be vague)
It's a dating site were people are looking for a partner long-term relationship/marriage and not for 'friendship'. If you want friendship then stay away and contact members or develop friendship on this thread/forum. Don't mess around and waste time on other forums.
It will not be exclusive to ex-muslims but it should come to no surprise to anyone that most the people featured on it will be ex-muslims. Ex-muslim will not be a badge of honour, rather it is a way for people who know how difficult it is to meet other ex-muslims in muslim communities and pursue a meaningful relationship.
Security is an issue that is why I think it should be part of a sub-forum on this thread or associated with CEMB. Existing users can already go on there (who have shown their credentials and are not Muslims/dawahgandists). There's no point in having a debate as to who gets in and over complicate something that's in its infancy. Those who are set on restricted will be restricted to the sub-forum and those who are guests will not be allowed to join. I don't think it would be a good idea for people to post pics of themselves straght away. But members can see each others ugly mug via email/Skype etc after developing their trust.
These are my recommendations.
All hail movingfeet I understand how difficult this can be (even though she's a whizz at this) and a lot of thought and effort has gone into it.
