When viewing a friend's skill list, an option to view it in the periodic table style we see our own skills would be very helpful. It is very hard to compare someone else's skills with your own skills right now.
+1 You can see a list of their skills recently trained, but it is not the same as the periodic style. The table was one of features I really liked right away when I started, and I agree that it seems only natural we should see our friends skills in this format. Maybe even a comparison tool, that would combine the two charts, and put colored borders around the squares? A blue border around a skill would mean only you have it, red means only they have it, green is both, and greyed out is unknown to both of you.
