You know... Not to kill a good idea, but wouldn't a mass adoption of facebook be just as effective? Plugins can be developed for facebook (which could help you establish certain functions you may wish to have), and it almost certainly already HAS many researchers that have already adopted it.

It would be tremendously easier to use a platform already in use by many, than to make a brand new one. It just seems like you'll have an unsurmountable task of getting people to sign-up for something that is starting with zero userbase.
