Hey guys,

I was just struck by an idea here, and thought it would be just the kind of thing the people involved in the wikicommons could make a reality.

I am frequently involved in working on various web projects, specifically human and civil rights sites, and am always struck by how hard it can be to find like-minded people who can hep you with specific tasks.

So, how about a site that allows members to sign up and create a profile containing their interests and their skills in relation to web design or expertise etc., and then post project proposals to the community. Then, members whose profiles suggest they may be interested whose skills are required would receive a little notification in their members area so that if they wish, they can join the project and get involved. Each project could be assigned a page by the site with a simple chat room and bulletin board so that the members can communicate and there could be a "rate this member" system to reward those who contribute the most.

It seems like a brilliant way to proliferate the philosophy of cooperation and open source throughout the net, and be a launch pad for thousands or new creative websites.

What do you think?

Regards,
