I apologize if this discussion area is not intended for such a question. The
title suggests that it applies, although noone else has done it.

Where would I look to find contracting requirements in the Washington, DC
area, including northern Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland, for
someone wanting to do database design, creating database for PostgreSQL and
developing database interfaces using Tcl/Tk? Also programming
general-purpose tasks on Tcl/Tk/incrTcl.

thanks,
Julian Burke

Maybe this post by Julian will lead to `legalization' of job-related
postings on -general?
Being always interested in telecommuting opportunities, I'd appreciate
such possibility, hopefully the others will agree?

Personally, I'd rather it didn't.

I have no objection to creation of a pgsql-jobs mail list, if there's
interest --- but let's not clutter the general list with such traffic.

But is it worth creating a new list? Maybe we could use -announce for the
first time?
On the other hand, I can receive such messages on my personal email and
keep them in a database. I'm on dial-up, so there won't be online access,
but it seems possible to accept requests via email and handle them in batch
mode. Comments?

Thx

Ed

I'd be interested in pgsql-jobs, and I'd have no problems with
subscribing to another list.

I totally agree that putting job postings here would be undesirable. Well,
at least for me. I don't want a job, I've got one. However, the addition
of a job mailing list by itself would be OK by me. But I wonder how
effective it would be. I guess if the list is archived, then that would be
a bit better. However, I think that a separate page or set of pages on a
Web somewhere site would be better. Of course, such a web page would use
PostgreSQL to store the information (job wanted / job opening). I've used
PostgreSQL and PHP4 together effectively to make dynamic pages. The
problem with this would be administrative. Adding and removing openings,
Adding in and removing "position desired". Unless it were to be totally
user-driven. I guess that each entry would need to have a validated email
address (like the mailing list) and a password. That way it would be more
difficult for one person to alter something put in by another person. But
there are many such Web sites (I think - http://www.monster.com comes to
mind).

Well, just my thoughts. Probably not worth the electrons it takes to
display them,
