I've implemented this in a new table (interests) thats fairly generic, i.e. it uses assoc_type/ID for identifying users--So this could be extended to other keywords.

This structure will work well for the advanced reviewer search in OMP, but I'm not sure how it will work for searching reviewer interests in OxS--I might have to look into indexing the table (or implementing what's going into OMP in OxS at the same time, e.g. filtering reviewers on whatever interests the editor selects).

Pushed to official, now using the controlled_vocab tables for storage.

Matt, I'm not able to save my reviewing interests in either OJS or OCS HEAD at the moment -- the reviewer interests field appears, but no text that I add there appears to be saved.

Fixed...  I forgot to port the latest small change from OMP to the other apps.  FYI, the change was in the JS to automatically name the keywords (grouped as an array of hidden inputs) based on the keyword input's ID. So, 
    $("#interests").tagIt({...});
Will create a keyword input control, and as keywords are entered, they are stored in 'interestsKeywords' (and can be accessed through the Form class using that name).

They were previously named just 'interests', which wouldn't work if there are multiple keyword inputs on one page.
