Those two sentences seem to be slightly contradictory ;)



Anyway, an alternative approach to the whole question of how to connect
potential clients and contractors would be a mailing list, e.g.:
openwrt-jobs at openwrt.org .

This would be a place for potential *clients/employers* to post
jobs/tenders (to which potential contractors/employees could then reply
on- or off-list).

It would therefore place responsibility for establishing the credentials
of the would-be employee or contractor entirely onto the potential
employer or client, rather than onto the OpenWRT project.

I.e. it is an inversion of the wiki page idea.

I suggest that if a vote is held, it should be a three-way vote between
the following outcomes (which should probably be mutually exclusive):

- OpenWRT Jobs wiki page;

- openwrt-jobs mailing list;

- Do nothing.

P.S.  I don't have an opinion on whether such a vote should be under
FPTP or AV or Condorcet or some other voting method.  For reference, I
think Debian uses "Condorcet/Clone Proof SSD":
