I did explain to them that we would have to have a Python-specific page to link to, and that we didn't have anyone to set up or maintain it. He initially wanted me to "sponsor" a group which sounded like a request for money, but from looking at the site I'm not sure that was really the case. > I don't know what oDesk actually does (ISTM that they list > professionals, not jobs); if they are a job aggregator, we Yes, I think you're right, they seem to be pitching it differently from most job sites. They still do have job listings, though, so I think it is more a matter of marketing than anything. They are focusing on contract positions, so what if I propose that we link the text "oDesk (Contractors)" from the menu on http://python.org/community/jobs/ to the URL they create for their Python group? > indicate this in the listing.
