Thought of something else on the way home, here it is in point form:-
* co-op website with linux 'service' organisations
* linux workers can login & create a skills/location profile
(perhaps an ABN with a password?)
* people wanting work done can create a job profile
{ by job I mean a one off project of a few hours or days maybe }
* either party can look for jobs/workers
* when the job is complete the requestor fills out a brief satisfaction
survey (quality, price, timing)
* worker can counter review the customers remarks
* people can see the results of previous work
* should be pretty much automated to avoid bias
* various sorting options
* optionally put your rates online
* If enough business comes out of it maybe employ someone to answer to a
phone/fax number and basically use the website on the client's behalf (or
perhaps the workers too?)
This is meant to address 2 problems, a) customers & workers finding each
other and b) how to decide who's worth their salt.
Problems -
head hunters - why should they get a cut for using the site..
Alternately, maybe they should fund it?
Funding - it's going to cost *something* to setup & run, maybe that could
be absorbed by a few of us with vested interest, consider it part of your
'advertising' budget.
