The list has always accepted job listings, and recently I've been encouraging companies who contact me to post both on the list and on the jobs page. A lot of people don't realize the jobs page exists, both because it's fairly new, and because they either don't know the website exists, or they don't see the jobs page because there's no big buttom for it. So it's the best thing we have for now but it's not that great. We have never tried a "Who's hiring this month?" thread; that may be a good idea. I think it would be easier to just let them reply directly to the list. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
