You've all been bitching to the point that I just want to roll over and take some sleeping pill.
MY last ditch effort to get a resolution on this workshop issue as there seems to be little feedbak from management.
I have created a google account "craftisianworkshop@gmail.com" with password "craftisian", I haven't registered it here and leave it for some good samaritan to do it as I'm doing a Pontius Pilot.
May I suggest when people want to post their workshop, login using that account, detail it and add it to a generic workshop collection linked to that userid. I am guessing that it will not be a too busy Id for registering new workshops and individuals can use their own ids to make comments... but use the C_W id to make posted changes as per the edit rules on this site.
Everyone could set up receipt emails for that new account so everyone interested can stay in the loop externally...
There nothing more I can or will do after this and I'll now leave this in your capable or if you so choose, incapable hands.

Late edit:
Calmed down and realised it's not a good idea as the password will be open to all, leaving an exposure to scam...
However, it may get some of the brains trust to save some of their idle chit chat energy and put some effort into another more secure way of solving this conundrum.
