Hi Scott, et al., Damn straight this is the kind of resource IxDA should be presenting to the world! Would you like to create it? Would you like to form a little team to create it? IxDA would be extremely glad to offer an online repository where it can reside. Our next-generation website will have a variety of ways for us to present such content to the world for the betterment of all.
Cheers, Liz, IxDA Vice-President P.S. On a personal front, I took a stab at a sort of IxD hiring map myself a few months ago, and posted a rough graphic here at http://ebacon.posterous.com/for-the-nonce-heres-a-rough-ux. It illustrates the idea that IxD has a core set of user-centered design skills spanning from research to definition to communication. And below those skills it shows some helpful backgrounds that people might have before they call themselves an "interaction designer". One further idea I had was to make this image interactive so that a recruiter can dial up different patterns of needed skills "I want somebody who is strong in research" or "I want somebody who is strong in conceptual design" and the various parts of the "house that IxD built" would light up accordingly. P.P.S. OK, so it needs work. :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
