I know of a project to start building a list of related groups; but even that will be limited to “explore and find out to confirm”. Without us explicitly knowing what “lesswrongers” are; other than people who hang around lesswrong.com; its quite hard to find others quite like our little in-group.
Do you know if the project intends to address that lack of definition in what attributes we see as being similar (in groups and individuals)? I could see how even just having a list of characteristics for a person/group might be an excellent place to start in evaluating choices for where to spend social/networking capital.
