Sorry to jump in and be somewhat off topic, but I had thought.
It would be interesting if users filled in a profile of their interests and skills (not to mention their blog feed etc perhaps). Ideas for questions could probably be gleaned from resume posting sites. (I can program in: o Perl, o Python, o Etc...)
Based on this profile FAS groups, mailings lists, etc could be suggested. At the same time project leaders could mine accounts looking for potential helpers. It would basically be a more structured self-introduction email with more staying power.
