This place is a mess anyway. Like Trevor said Google+ developer groups didn't work out. They became social networking brag stations. An actual forum BBS would be better but perhaps Google doesn't have any such company written software and they tend to suffer from the NIH syndrome. With a forum you could have sections for beginners, a section for each area of interest and yes a jobs posting section. History has shown forums work better.
