the perl jobs list is online and had succeeded about a dozon or so
hackers. it is being moved and upgraded which what i am working on
now. i have a team of about 7 who are helping with the web pages and
forms, info and faq pages, etc. since the discuss list is empty now we
could use it as the place to work on this. i don't think job hunting belongs
here on advocacy.

the more help the better. especially with publicity, getting the word to
agencies, ideas, etc.

this is happening now. please join us. i will tell everyone on the team
about using the discuss list for this. that will be a forum for
discussing perl jobs in general and the lists in specific.

we are depending on you!!! :)
don't fret. you are not alone in any of this.
i will add you to my private list and we will migrate that to the
discuss list. i would like to get the new pages and lists running soon.
we can always fix things as the problems crop up.
so send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to be
involved in creating a better perl jobs page/list.
