i would add phone (char 30?)
why the need for the two address fields?

regarding the interests table, i'll quote and edit from my previous message
on the matter:
(Notes:
I = identity
N = Not null
)

Interest's table
Interest id - N I (INT)
Name - N (char 20?)
Description (varchar 255)

Member's Interest Tabe
Member ID - N I (INT) (linked to members table) -\ Joint Identity

Interest ID - N I (INT) ( linked to interests table) -/

Interests Relationship table
InterestParent ID - N I (INT) (both linked to interest table) -\ Joint
identity
InterestChild ID - N I (INT) -/

Interests linked in a hierarchical many to many so that you can get to a
specific interest through many paths
(eg Nanotech investment through Nanotech -> Nanotech Investment and
through Investment->Nanotech Investment)

what other software is available? (php3? python?)
