I have implemented an endorsement mechanism. Existing members can see and endorse new applicants. New applications should contact existing members by email and request an endorsement. 5 endorsements qualify for acceptance as an expert. Endorsements can be withdrawn. Endorsements are confidential. I can override this and I will for known web2py contributors.
You apply by simply logging in into the system. I am happy to say that at least 3 members of the group have already been contacted with job offers. Please DO NOT ENDORSE users who did not post a decent picture or profile, even if you know they are good web2py programmers. If you have already been approved because you are a web2py contributor but you have posted no picture, a scary picture (yes you!), or no profile, please correct it. Everybody can register a new affiliated company, a new project and/or a new skill. But they I will have to approve them. I do not want to make the list of skills too long. Projects must be based on web2py, tested and deployed. Companies but say in the web site that they provide web2py support (although not exclusively). Massimo
