automattic. I agree that the list is a very useful consortium of professionals
and I have hired several people from this list and would hire more. Because I am
registered here, I never planned on registering anywhere else. What process do
you have where by I could manage the listserv for you, and thus save time.
Basically we would publish a list of rules and from these rules I would manage
the users experience.</FONT></DIV>

Subject: [wp-pro] Discontinuing this mailing list<BR>><BR>> Hello
everyone. When this list was started back in 2005, there were not
that<BR>> many WordPress consultants, and not that many people hiring
them, either. :)<BR>> As you know, since that time WordPress has grown
considerably, and the<BR>> number of people making a living from
WordPress-based businesses is amazing.<BR>> There are numerous websites
to connect consultants to gigs, referral<BR>> services, help lines, etc.
Because that seems to be where the bulk of<BR>> opportunities are getting
posted these days, we're going to deactivate the<BR>> wp-pro mailing list
this week.<BR>><BR>> Let's face it: when someone says they want to
hire someone for a WordPress<BR>> job, making them sign up for a mailing
list just to post an ad is a little<BR>> ridiculous when they could go to
a site like<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A
style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
href="http://jobs.wordpress.net"
target=_blank>http://jobs.wordpress.net</A><SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>and<BR>> put up a post that can
be easily managed/updated in moments as well as being<BR>> seen by far
more people.<BR>><BR>> For anyone subscribed to the list currently
wondering where they should go<BR>> now to post jobs/look for
consultants, we recommend<BR>><SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A
style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
href="http://jobs.wordpress.net"
target=_blank>http://jobs.wordpress.net</A>, though other sites such as<SPAN

target=_blank>http://elance.com</A><SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>and<BR>><SPAN

target=_blank>http://www.odesk.com</A><SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>usually have a lot of WordPress gig
listings as well.<BR>> There's also a consultant list at<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A
style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://codepoet.com"
target=_blank>http://codepoet.com</A>.<BR>><BR>> Mailing lists are
great for discussions, but they're just not the best way<BR>> to hire
people. Thanks for all the good times, and good luck with your<BR>>
WordPress businesses!<BR>><BR>> Jane Wells<BR>>
