I have had this discussion with a few other people and i wanted to put it to you Patriots:
Would you participate in a secure system to post your intel for other Patriots to learn from?
An example:
Team A works the I-8 corridor this weekend and finds tracks along a certain wash, notes the types of shoe prints and the approx number of persons travelling. In addition, they notice a pickup truck parked oddly along an access road while on patrol.
Team B works the same area the weekend after Team A, finds tracks along the same wash, note the types of shoes prints and the approx number of persons travelling. They also notice a sedan along an access road in an odd place.
Team C works the same area two weeks after Team B. There are tracks along the same wash, and notice a beat up SUV on an access road in an odd location.
HOWEVER, Teams A, B, and C don't really talk to each other. Where the tracks in that wash the same tracks for a month OR was each finding a separate group?
A good tracker SHOULD be able to determine age of the tracks, but in our desert a track made in wet soil and hardened in the sun could look the same three days or three weeks later is left undisturbed.
Where the different cars in the same area/same spot? Maybe it is a pickup / lookout area. Was the license plate seen in other high traffic areas by other teams? Can the vehicles be spotted nearby at a farm or near the access road or are they from somewhere else?

Now, I propose that if each team posted their findings on a secure area we could answer these questions:
In my example, I know what "happened." But, in real life, without multiple data points, we can't even begin to guess, as we would only have the info from ONE team, not all three.
Looking at all three teams, lets us say that the tracks were different each time. We would know that we had found a common route currently being used. If we know the numbers, we can predict the ease of tracking and logistics of pickup. Large groups are easier to track, AND generally slower in movement. More people means more vehicles for a pick up or more trips with one vehicle to do the pick up. If the vehicles had out of state plates and where parked within a few hundred feet of each other on the same road, we can begin to feel more certain that we indeed have found an area that the smugglers use for some reason.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:
We can give this data to teams going out into the field to help guide them into areas where our labors will reap the greatest rewards.

Another example:
If the same teams go out and go in the same area and repeatedly find NOTHING, we can try and get teams to search other areas, rather than search in areas with nothing there. Of course, we would periodically check back in those areas to see if it picks up activity, but as the Gold Miners say "You find gold where others have found gold." Basically this means that if no one has found anything after decent searching, the odds of you finding the "hidden mother lode" is slim.

So, if you are still reading, would any of you be interested in working together to share info?
