Now that we have lots of chemistry resources available on the Web, including journals, patents and databases which can give us a lot of know-how is anyone thinking about the identification of experts in certain fields? In industry there is a great move toward connecting people who have a problem with someone who has expertise in that area and may be able to help. This is often done with a sort of "yellow pages" of the organization.
RSC and the University of Sheffield had money for a project (Chemdex UK) which was designed to do something very similar to what you suggest within the UK, with the possibility of geographical extension. Lots of us filled out forms. I don't know where the project is up to now. I am copying this to someone in RSC who should know. In theory ChemWeb.com could also do this but I am not sure what their priorities are.
