One idea we've discussed is grabbing interests and skills from people
(which get associated with their user account), and pairing those up
with needs from various sub-projects.

This requires the sub-projects to thing more deeply about skills and
interests that tie to their areas.

It also requires some automagic, maybe something a little wizard like
to grab and compare skills and interests.

Agreed, the categories under wiki/Join (for example) are pretty old by
