[OSGeo-Discuss] Job Postings / Job Wanted

This sounds like a workable plan to me. I would like to make one
suggested change. Why don't I make the wiki page shadow the mailing
list. If people want their job or resume posted on the wiki they can
indicate this in their e-mail post. 

I'll automatically remove job postings when requested or after three (3)
months.

On irc we've just worked out the following schema:

* We will set up a jobs list, to which anyone can subscribe - expected
to be low volume, but nonethess moderated by the troika of ominoverdi,
Landon, and/or mpg

* We will set up a Wiki page, owned & maintained by Landon, which will
shadow the jobs mailing list (or the list will shadow the wiki,
whatever)

* We will send a "best of" message to the discuss list biweekly,
containing a summary of current jobs offered / jobs wanted for the
period
