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 [1] http://learn.linkedin.com/group-management/ -- Mak Kolybabi <[email protected]> () ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org | Against proprietary extensions _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/
