I think the main advantage of doing your own thing is that you are doing. I have gotten a bit of an idea where I can fool around and just let people know what I am doing and where I should ask first. It makes it easier to get stuff done if I don't have to ask before doing anything. Some mistakes will get made using this approach, but unless the leads have the timeand inclination to do a lot of hands on direction, I think the trade off is worth it. People have bios on the wiki. Mine should probably be updated, since I have picked up some new areas of expertise in the two months since I filled it out, but I did try to give an indication of what I thought I would be working on. I don't think there is any category to person mapping, and generally that is more useful than person to category. So maybe it would be useful to do something more structured in that regard.
