Bestie - we have that option built, but it was causing major performance issues. We'd like to put it back in again, but not sure when.

The other nice thing about this is that then the author could specify, "I want one person tagged "perl" and one tagged "literary" to Bite-Size my book", so that the author knows that someone with perl skills will proof the book.
