You could subscribe to LinkedIn, create a group[1], and publicize it. I have no
interest whatsoever in a SkullSpace-specific thing, even if it got used, I
expect people would let their info lapse. Backing this with LinkedIn gets you
several benefits:

- Only have to add/update your info in one spot, and you have an incentive to do
  so (employment)
- Has avatars, so you can put faces to the organization
- Has a large list of existing skills, it's easier to answer yes/no than produce
  a list of what you can do
- Cross-referenceable, so you can find someone who has the skill to answer a
  question
- Useful for employment, nobody is going to trawl our wiki for recruits
- Can be exported as a resume, once again exploiting the fact that the info is
  in one spot
