As job site complement, we would like to add a new feature to GNU Herds, to be able to sum lots of 2 cents to create a user's predefined job offer.
Please, let us know if you think we must not develop such feature or if we must do something special. As usual we will adapt to your requirements.

Later I will do what be needed to get the GNU Herds project being officially part of The GNU Project and to transfer my copyright to the FSF. _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
