i've been thinking for a while now that there should be some way to match up people looking for work doing with fellow board members who're trying to earn a crust. at the minute it's a kind of hit'n'miss affair; some member will start a thread asking if anyone can design a logo for their church/synagogue/satanic coven [or suchlike] and a few of the graphic designers on the board will happen across the thread and express an interest.
i think it would be handy if we had a forum which allowed members to list their "availability" for different types of work, so that a member requiring [say] a magazine printed could look in the "employ a macNN'er" forum under the "publishers" section and see which fellow board members were in that line of work.
i think a lot of us would rather give work to [or receive work form] people we'd built up some kind of 'trust' in through long-term acquaintence on the boards, rather than plucking a company at random from a google search result, or the yellow pages - i know i would. the problem is that i don't know what a lot of the rest of you do [unless you post in the same work-related threads as me]
anyway, i've posted this as an official suggestion in the feedback forum, but i thought i'd link from here as well, as the lounge tends to get the most 'varied' throughput of members. if you want to comment, can you do it on [ this thread in the feedback forum]

This has been suggested before, but nothing came of it unfortunately.

I think that it would be good to hire fellow MacNNer's . A phone call so that you can get to know the person. Money will make the deal go much better.

I think this is a great idea. I've certainly thought working with some people here would be a good idea -- maybe e.g., for version 2.0 of my web site.

i think that's a very good idea, madra. a subforum within the community section such as "macnn jobcenter" or the like would be ideal.

I know at Arstechnica, there is a seperate forum area called the boardroom and a sticky thread for job postings...I think Madra's idea is a solid one.

Correct, I have brought this up in the Feedback area a few times in the past. The mods were going to discuss it over. I guess they are still discussing...or...maybe not.
