I'm not too keen on special casing skills, I mean, we can probably come
up with other such properties.

Or put them all under a "Ungrouped" node.

I personally think that having the groups in the time-table view is a

would be a good idea to support having a resource in several groups
though.

For example a person can be part of two seperate teams in the same
project.
