It should be simple to allow users to upload checklists to my site
from their machine, it's not difficult. And generating such files
in text format from my site would be easy, as well.

What format do you output place information in? I'd need to be
able to glean geographical information, too.

Also, does Avisys allow one to enter numbers of individuals seen,
i.e. what I'm informally calling "census counts" at the moment,
or just checklists?
