Building the free user account

Friends,

All of us have given some great ideas on what features free user accounts could be given such that they a) continue to like GENI and b) become hooked onto become PRO users.

Just so that the discussion is not lost, i suggest those of us who have some thoughts, list them here. Pls note, do not post a specific suggestion, but post as a "package" on the following parameters

1) Limit on profiles/ data
2) Merging - (sending and accepting requests)
3) Search
4) Pricing of pro package(global vs local, time period, amount, etc)
5) Collaboration

For instance, here is a sample. (this is illustrative and not my view)

a) Add profiles only for immediate family!
b) No accepting or sending merges!
3) Search restricted to immediate family!
4) Current global pricing for all
5) No collaboration.

The idea of a package is so that we take the trade-offs into account rather than optimize for a particular sub feature. Thanks Justin Swanström for the package idea!

I hope this can be useful for GENI and us to get to some common ground.
