A simple registration system would build a demographic database that would solve the Problem. I have made a suggestion on Blendestorm for this. Please vote for it!

The registration process could also create a BlenderArtists, BlenderNation, BlenderStorm, eofw Blender Benchmark, and Bug Tracker user ID (the generic shared ID), so that they would become part of the community, and give us some percentages that might help us make some of the people happy some of the time. Information that might be helpful is:

Age
Native Language
Time Zone
English Proficiency
Blender Benchmark
Internet connection speed

Proficiencies (scale 1-10, with examples of what is 1 and what is 10)
General Computer Use
Python Language programming
C/C## programming
3D Modeling and Sculpting
Painting, Texturing, Materials
Animation
Compositing and Post Pro

Whether they would like to contribute Scripts, Code, and/or Wiki Doco

Competitive Packages used, and proficiency in those packages

The end of the registration package would point them to a web site that provided a New to Blender info - links to other sites, converting from other packages, etc.
