I am thinking it might be a good idea to list on each other's site the links of the other co-working space our members has access to? Let me know what you guys think?

I was thinking... looking at the coworking visa listings here, we all seem to have a need for validating the coworkers membership as part of the visa system.
IMHO it should be very simple to create a shared database on say coworkingvisa.com that contains the part of the member data necesary to validate membership. coworking space, name, email, membership status should be enough.
If we can make it very simple to maintain (as simple as having the space managers sending a twitter or email message to the system to create, update or delete a member) then we have all have one reference point. Having worldwide members in one place will give us also some great opportunities in future..
What do you think?

I've purchased coworkingvisa.com and will be setting up a basic sign-up and submission form. Would provide listing according to country / city to make it easy to search. Would make it grow later on. Would be adding the data currently here by default to the initial version. Will notify once up and running.

The page was getting overlarge (as per the PBWorks warnings) so I split out into multiple pages. I took a lot longer than I planned so I stopped when I finished the United States. Hopefully someone else can do the countries outside the USA.
