Oh, yeah. Generally we use the wiki page for vouching purposes in the form of testimonials (see my page, for instance: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aldomann">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aldomann</a> or Ali's one: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad#Testimonials">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad#Testimonials</a>). I believe this is pretty standard, and given the nature of open source projects the best way to do it.

Personally, my experience says that it's not a bad thing to include your experience in open source projects if you believe it's something that makes you a better candidate for an specific job. Your very own word is most of times enough proof for your potential employers.

Hello, I guess the page who we are is what you search <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/WhoWeAre" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/WhoWeAre</a> you can add your name there. BUT anyone who wants to be vouched, he can add his name there without contribute to the project. That's something we should be aware of. Other wiki systems have a feature where you can see the wiki contribution by clicking on the username.
