I don't think so. An improvement might be to use tags for members to
list their skills. It's already being done on the site and hopefully
it wouldn't be to tough to apply that to member accounts in some way.
Would make the whole thing a lot easier if the moderator didn't have
to sort through all the text field entries to find matches for the
gigs.

What say the IxDA board members about all this? :-) I don't think any
have chimed in on this thread yet.
