Hi all,

I have read the thread of postings in response to this posting about Skip Huffman's job posting. I have a few questions/comments:

• What is the controversy over this post? Is the controversy that Skip Huffman's posting appears to be a posting for a job where the initial form of compensation would solely be equity in his business venture and no pay check? Or is the controversy that it is a job posting at all and not really a question/comment about Perl?
• What is being proposed in this discussion? Are we proposing a separate section for job postings/career opportunities?
• Additionally, I don't think it is right to be critical of someone's post simply due to spelling errors, typos, or poor hyperlinks. We're all human, we all make these kinds of mistakes

I fully support the idea of constructing a new page within the Perl Monks web site for job/postings/career opportunities. Additionally, I don't have a problem with a posting for a job whose initial compensation would be equity in the given business. We're all adults here; each of us can decide for ourselves whether a given opportunity is a good idea or a good fit. For that matter some one could provide work for a company for free if he or she liked -- although I myself like the whole getting compensated thing -- as does the bank that holds my mortgage.

Additionally, I'd like to see a page for groups/companies that provide training/education. I am often looking for one form of training or another so a technical training page for companies that provide training would be great.

Well, that's my two cents
