The "Profiles" section of the [/account/profile](https://metacpan.org/account/profile) page allows a user to list their accounts on various social networking sites. It would be great if users could also indicate their Perl Mongers affiliation (real-world social networking) - ideally by selecting from a list like the one on http://www.pm.org/groups/ (also available [as XML](http://www.pm.org/groups/perl_mongers.xml) ). One potential wrinkle is that some people will undoubtedly want to select more than one group.

Down the track, this would allow a query to list the 'members' of a particular .pm group and use their CPAN IDs to build leaderboards along the lines of [Acme::CPANAuthors](http://acme.cpanauthors.org/modules)
