For those familiar with the Join page ...

... the goal there has always been to move toward a wizard-like tool.
Ask people what interests them, what skills they have, and what labels
they put on themselves.  Capture that and store it with their user data.
In addition, we would have a way to add to the list of skills and
abilities.  This is for more practical purposes, such as, "I need to
find an expert in FooBaz," but it also gives us a good idea of the shape
of our community over time.

What we are missing is someone to do the actual work of making a wizard
and developing the infrastructure in to the account system.  Naturally,
data gathering would be optional; it is just another way people can
contribute information to Fedora.
