I've been looking for a way to get the various incubating communities I'm helping organize recruit new contributors. This would help solve this problem by making it easier for (p)PMC's to articulate what they would like help with from new community members. Obviously it would be an adhoc system, and up to projects to fill out and keep their want ad's up to date. Perhaps a rule of the system would be that want ads are automatically deleted after a month if they aren't visited and renewed by project members to verify they are still current. So basically, I'm volunteering to help here :) -Greg
