Since Google spreadsheets are dynamic (pardonmetim) you can safely put everybody in one spreadsheet and that will support sorting by writer vs. scientist but also by specialties and any other fields of information we want to devote a column to.

Multiple spread sheets will be less functional, because for instance, we might want to see all participants interested in 'geology,' both writers and scientists, and we can also segregate the geological writers from the geological scientists in another sort of the same spreadsheet.

What do guys suggest in terms of organizing freelancer and science participants? Should both be put on a single spreadsheet, or should two spreadsheets be used, etc? We already have Charles Johnson, Eric Kain, and John Knefel as volunteers to write, and we should have quite a few scientists within the next couple of weeks, so I want to get a basic system in place that will suffice even with dozens of participants in both categories.
