you've listed some skills that you can bring to bear to a problem, but what are example problems you're trying to solve? i'd think that with most small businesses closed, they'd be hard to help right now for instance.

it'd probably help to list some of the kinds of projects you imagine so that folks who need help/want to give help can decide to do so (or not).

for instance, could you use product, project, or general management help? legal skills? do you want to work with government agencies? medical ones? non-profits? how about tenant's rights organizations? etc.

Yeah, an earlier draft had something like that but it's so hard to capture all the kinds of projects people need. After more people sign up we will have data informing us what overarching problems people are seeking, and we can feed it back.

sounds good, hope it turns into some productive assets for local/small businesses and agencies, as those tend to need the most help from such skills. how do you think people will find the site (other than from here)?
