- I'd like to add a Who We Are page to the community.a.o site. While I one hand I appreciate the idea that we promote our communities, don't have @author tags, and the like, on the other hand for newcomers I often find that they sometimes are more willing to reach out or even just feel they could reach out to individuals instead of mailing lists. Even if we don't list email addresses, I think listing who's a volunteer/PMC on the ComDev project would be a helpful way to put a face on this PMC. Heck, I think it'd actually be great to have a listing with photos and a short bio blurb, if we have consensus to add something like that.
I think this might be better done driven by FOAF/DOAP, as we're trying to do for local mentors and apache speakers. That way we avoid having to duplicate things, and we have a consistent way for people to list themselves and their details for our various activities.
(We wouldn't necessarily do it using the same code as the local mentors / speakers, as for this we'd want a general listing rather than find near. That said, some of the ideas for the speaking thing going forward might want a general listing too, so it could tie in...)
