Skills allows case sensitive duplicates #3556

The feature does not solve the stated problem of the intended user which is to safe useful information for networking purposes.

this is because Skills should be unique regardless of case. For cases such a Java, JAVA, java. Are the same skill and allowing multiples may lead to confusion.

I understand that there may be a myriad of different skills as such it is more wise to have is case sensitive.

However, I believe that this would be more confusing than useful. A possible improvement would be to have a database of skills. This is an example that some career application pages adopt allowing lesser discrepency in skills. Furthermore, it would lead to more acurate filtering/finding

Having a database is a good suggestion. However, for the purpose of this module, we were not allowed to have a database to store information.
