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
