either people do not understand what this group is for or they are not able to tell from the group description. job postings looking for iPhone Web developers are not the same as those looking for Cocoa developers, this is the wrong group. the group has "iPhone" in the title so it is assumed to be the right place.
if someone wants to know how to subclass a UIViewController, I may tell them that they are asking in the wrong group. if someone wants to hire a person to subclass a UIViewController, I may tell them that they are spamming the wrong group. anyone arriving here to post a job listing will (a) not know the policy and (b) is unlikely to first search the "Pages" to find out what the policy is. personally, I would like to see the first post from a new member pass through moderation before appearing here. posts from existing members should continue to appear as they currently do. as to this particular job posting, it _is_ relevant, because half of the phonegap approach is web dev. I just don't understand how someone could know enough about phonegap and not post to the phonegap group (unless he did and was moderated out). /dave On Apr 24, 10:41 am, Sean Gilligan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I believe the last time this was discussed, the official policy (both > "official" and "policy" should maybe be quoted) was to allow iPhone job > postings but to ask that people respond to the poster off-list. > > Here's my take on the protocol: > > OK: > * brief job postings by iPhone developers with a clear subject line > > Not OK: > * postings by headhunters > * repeated postings by the same company or individual > * responding to postings on-list (if you're interested in the job, > reply directly to the sender) > * responding to the posting with complaints of spam (although, I don't > blame those who've done so recently since there > is not clearly posted group policy) > > I suppose we should have some discussion of this and make sure this is > what the group wants.
