Abstract
An online collaboration system can access data in one or more skills repositories to search for participants with indicated skills and automatically display participants' skill information during online collaborations. Searching for participants by skill allows individuals most likely to add value to a discussion to be identified and invited to an online collaboration. Displaying skill information can facilitate focused interaction leading to a more productive online collaboration.
