Who's who?

I've just read over last week's emails, and am quite impressed. I think
that Trent has a good handle and approach on a methodology.

None the less, I'd like to suggest a third, relatively trivial, possible
project.

As a subset of the Installfest project, I'd like to see a database of
information about installfest volunteers, which would enable
participants to find the appropriate people for answers to the myriad of
questions that inevitably pop up. Kind of a "who's who" and "who knows
what" application. This could be be applied to plug members in general
too (and even installfest participants). Once in place, I think that
each volunteer or plug member could maintain their own information via
the web site.

The database should provide two basic outputs. First is a
searchable/sortable list of people, and second would be some sort of
name tags. Personally, I'm terrible with names, and I think that they'd
be a nice addition to installfests, and meetings too.

Thoughts / ideas?
