Ah! I didn't see a link to the main site at the top of the page so I didn't check out the app description itself (I was not really that focused on it either).
The actual solution you have looks like it should be interesting, and even if you have a pretty broad and deep personal network, could still be useful.
I'd love it if you took outside assistance or some kind of social mechanic to create skillsapps for domains outside your team's expertise. I'd be really interested in crypto, security, protocol design, and satellite/rf network engineering. Maybe partner with existing domain specific certification entities?
We are taking outside assistance; for any given topic we engage somebody prominent in the field to write the exam.
"Somebody prominent" is somebody whose name is common knowledge for those familiar with the langualge/framework/etc in question. Could be the inventor (if we're lucky) or a popular developer who blogs on the subject.
If we limited Skills to testing subjects we know, it would be a very limited app indeed. :)
