[Chicago] Group members, Python compententcy levels

[Tim Ottinger]

That might be useful. I'm pretty good with python, but didn't get there
through math and sciences routes.

My history with self-ranking in business has been that it tends to reverse
the desired effect: see "Dunning-Kruger effect"

OTOH, if the point is to state how much background you have with a topic,
how comfortable you are with it, and how interested you are in doing
more... that sounds good.
