Looking for Consultant

Comments

The space and the type of presentation for entries in this list should follow a certain guideline. Some have already overused their space. We should limit the amount of characters and define what to put in which column to keep this a good reference for new interessees.

-- MartinSeibert - 03 Aug 2008

I'd prefer a TWikiApplication to auto-generate the above list. Editing it is a nightmare. At the very least it is not a best practice to keep information like that.

In fact, we could extend this idea and keep track of community members' and skills & interests in a similar way. This in turn would be a way to subscribe to "interest groups" proposed in the TWikiGovernance proposal. I'm gonna write up something along that lines in that context.

-- MichaelDaum - 03 Aug 2008

That is a very good idea. Meanwhile those of you, that feel adressed. Please limit your entries to a reasonable amount of letters and space on your own by editing your row. Or who wants to be the example on how not to go for an entry later?
