All,
I was playing with the semantic properties in the wiki earlier today
and found a way to make our Skills Exchange page work. This would be
a page where people can look to see who has certain skills and see
what people are interested in learning.
http://wiki.hive13.org/Skills_Exchange
I found a way that you can list your skills on your own userpage and
have them appear in the Skills Exchange page. Basically you create
what is called a property using this syntax: [[Skill::Breakdancing]].
Then it will automatically appear on the Skills Exchange page since
that page is a query of all the skills that people have listed. You
can also indicate if there is something you want to learn by putting
[[SkillWanted::Lockpicking]]. Remember, you put this on your own user
page on the wiki. For example, mine are listed at:
http://wiki.hive13.org/User:DaveMenninger#Skills
This method is not perfect since it relies on people having a user
account on the wiki, but it seems better than nothing. If you don't
want to sign up for a wiki account, I guess you could just list your
skills and interests at the bottom of the Skills Exchange page.
