Key to the development of any new solution is the expertise brought to the project. The purpose of this component is:
- to allow new people (consumers, professionals working with consumers, developers, and others) to bring expertise to the field - and join it to the expertise already there; enabling us all to draw from experience and bring in new ideas
- to allow those with particular expertise to be matched to those who are developing things who need it
- to allow new people who would like to contribute to the field to be able to more quickly create solutions that extend rather than duplicate the field - and to avoid some of the mistakes made by the rest of us as we started out
