Not sure when the group's home page was 'minified' (or who is
responsible for maintaining it at this point) but the convention wrt
job postings _used_ to be clearly stated:
Job postings need to be prefixed with [JOB] in the subject line.
There was a time when there were a lot of postings from recruiters and
several list members voiced a preference for this approach so that
those posts could be filtered. There are a number of Ruby / Rails
-specific job boards now and I guess the recruiters are getting
sufficient response from those that they're mostly leaving the list
alone.
WRT, postings for availability, I don't recall it ever being clearly
resolved. There was, iirc, a general feeling that shops advertising
their services was both inappropriate and a waste of effort since the
audience here was / is individual developers. I recall a discussion
wherein the recommendation was that notice of individual availability
be handled via a sig line.
In any event, that was several years ago and, as you noted, the
group's home page (on google) now makes no mention of either case so I
suppose folks are free to do as they choose. If it gets out of hand
I'm sure someone(s) will bring it up again.
Best regards,
Bill
