I was wondering the same thing.  I see that there are some IBCLCs already
on there.  I am actually a part of the Helpouts program for another,
unrelated, job that I have.  I was wondering about this, but feel a little
torn.  How would you have someone sign a release form, for example?  Would
you need to contact their doctor to send a note, and how would you go about
that?  Etc.  I think there are some good things about it, but I was
wondering about the feasibility of it, as most of the time people really
need someone there in person to really see what is going on.

I am glad you asked though, and am interested to hear what others have to
say on the idea.
