Why reinvent the wheel? I propose using an existing structure, the Wikipedia Portals. The portals already have well defined categories that we can use. If the main categories get too large and it is felt that we need a finer structure, the sub-categories can be used to further deliniate the type of expert needed.
I an addition to being an already existing structure, this also allows for leveraging existing expert communities. Perhaps the talk page for each portal could list of have a link to the "Expert needed" category for that Portal.
By using the portal scheme, the initial breakdown would be as follows:

Sorry this took so long! But I have created a template for this: {{ expert-portal}}. It takes a portal name as a parameter, and categorizes the article into Category:Pages needing expert attention on PortalName.-- Konstable 01:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Now there is an issue of how to attach this to the current portals. Listing them all would probably be impractical, so I think just a link to the category would have to do.-- Konstable 01:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully we can get the expert requests sorted into these and then we can create sub-categories based on the portals that currently exist. At that point, we can assign the categories to the appropriate portals. If anyone happens by this page, want to help? -- Brad Beattie (talk) 14:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
