I don't think it's as black-and-white as this.  Posting personal
information on the web is very different to telling a colleague you
recorded a frog story from some language.  It would be unfortunate if
the legitimate need to protect "personal identifying information"
prevented widespread dissemination of generic information about the
resources that have been collected for a language.  (I think most IRBs
require PII to be stored separately to other project records.)
