Re: Programmers needed!
Uh, it doesn't really require exceptional knowledge of PHP to make a profile page; all you need to know is how to get values from a database. Most of the knowledge required is HTML and CSS.

we are talking dynamically adding profile pages, editing them, managing them, etc.

Which just means you need to know how to edit values in the database. As Veggie said, the main thing you need to know is HTML.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Profile Updater</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Connect to MySQL database.
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password');
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$profile_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']); // mysql_real_escape_string() prevents SQL Injections, should surround any/all input received from the client.
$profile_text = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['text']);
if (!$profile_text) {
mysql_query("UPDATE user_profiles SET profile_text=$profile_text WHERE id=$profile_id");
echo "Profile updated!";
} else {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_profiles WHERE id=$profile_id");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$profile_text = $row['text'];
echo "<input type='hidden' name='id' value='1' /><br />
<input type='text' name='text' value='$profile_text' /><br />
<input type='submit' value='Submit' />";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
</body>
</html>My PHP is rusty, but it's something like that.

Re: Programmers needed!
This isn't the only thing that you'd be working on. PHP knowledge is required, because each time a person signs up, it has to create both the database info, (which I know how to do) and the actual page that other people can access, which is slightly harder. We're also connecting profile data to a forum profile, in which it will automatically log you in like on the scratch website.

Re: Programmers needed!
I built something like this. If you want help, ask me, but I won't be part of the project.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

The page people can access shouldn't actually be created at signup!
It should be a single page that then decides which user to display depending on a get variable passed.

and if you want to make the url look a little prettier, just use a rewrite rule in .htaccess
You don't need exceptional skills with php to do what you're asking. Just flipping through w3schools would probably get you what you need.

A lot of sites use that, actually (such as FluxBB, you pass the user ID in a GET variable).

I'd help, but I just decided to do DragonFEST.
