IMHO it could be better add specific fields to keep that values. Anyhow I have 
added a new task to analyze such idea:

Why duplicate information?  IMHO we should use just an .odt to keep anything 
or a webapp with forms to keep any field-data, as we have now.  Anyhow I have 
added a new task to analyze this idea:

RMS do not like free-to-fill fields in the Qualifications and JobOffers forms. 
Read [1], [2], [3]. Adding more could delay the moving of the project to the 
FSF hosts.

 [3] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnuherds-app-dev/2006-10/msg00001.html

Anyway we can take a short talk about this with RMS again after we move the 
project to the FSF hosts. So I have added such tasks as postponed.


IMHO, what could be interesting is the import/export feature exposed by 
Victor.  See the below task:
