Seeing as we have to deal with a stale data issue anyway, I thought I would throw an idea into the mix.
I think it'd be nice to have something where the data is a little more open, allowing anyone to create an index of developers. For example, each developer who wants to be index sticks a json file somewhere online with loosely standard information: who they are, whether or not they are currently available, where they are happy to work, what their relevant interests are, some experience and links to github/twitter/etc accounts. This way, a developer would need only update the file and the changes would propagate to whatever index others have built. For employers, it means the index only contains people clever enough to put a json file on their website/github/etc :-) There are of course no doubt issues with this (verification etc), but I thought I would mention a worthy goal. At the very least, people.djangoproject.com could provide a simple API, in effect hosting such information and letting others build fancy indicies. As someone who is looking for competent developers, I'd be happy to work on this if others find it useful.
