Adam, Thank you for your clear and enthusiastic reply!
I'm not personally planning to work on a job's board app currently - I was just interested to understand the policy/practise, which you've made very clear. Now that I understand the policy better I will be keeping my eye open for places to make a contribution. Thanks!
