- Use a [JOB] marker within the subject line


WDYT?

Sounds good to me. Do we need a formal vote for that? If yes, we
should start a separate thread.

Let's not over-engineer.

I was going to say that "in the good old Cocoon days", we used to
allow occasional job postings with similar criteria than you suggest,
*and* with a [JOB] marker in the subject line, *and* requiring
off-list replies to keep the noise low.
 



makes sense to me

I would suggest the following addendum to

In fairness I have to admit that this list has a 'Mean posts per day:
0.08' and I think hardly any apache user/committer is subscribed to it
(see http://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html)

I was going to say that "in the good old Cocoon days", we used to
allow occasional job postings with similar criteria than you suggest,
*and* with a [JOB] marker in the subject line, *and* requiring
off-list replies to keep the noise low.

I don't see anything wrong with job offers as long as they are related
to JCR and Jackrabbit and not too frequent. Especially when the
company behind the offer participates in the community (i.e. I don't
want to see nameless head hunters roaming around here).

That said, I understand if people prefer not to have job offers on
this list and won't object to a policy to ban them. My employer Day
has been hired a number of people in and around the Jackrabbit
community (me included), but those job offers have all been made in
private based on contacts made on this list and elsewhere.

If there's interest, we could perhaps create a LinkedIn group or some
similar tool for making it easier for companies to identify and
contact the JCR experts in this community who might be interested in
new job opportunities.

BR,

Jukka Zitting
