[asterisk-biz] New Freelance Site for Asterisk Consultants and Those who Need Projects Done

[Steve Totaro]

Sorry if this is slightly off topic but it does pertain to Asterisk
Users as well as the biz list.  Also, sorry if it is a double post but
the first one never made it to the list for some reason.

 

Hello all,

 

I have created a beta site for "Asterisk Gurus" or Consultants to bid on
projects posted by customers needing to have work done.  It is very
similar to scriptlance or any of those other sites but it is dedicated
to Asterisk and related issues so hopefully only really qualified
Asterisk consultants will bid on your projects.  If you post at one of
those other sites, you wind up with 99% of the people who bid unable to
complete the project and they waste your valuable time.

 

Asterisk is a very specialized skill and with our rating system, we can
quickly identify who the good "Asterisk Gurus" are and not waste time
with the wannabes.

 

This also seems to be a very good replacement for the "Bounty" system on
www.voip-info.org <http://www.voip-info.org/> .  I am sure we can figure
out how to split costs owed to the "Asterisk Guru" between customers.

 

It is VERY beta right now but I think it is also fully functional.  Any
reference to payments, deposits, $$$, etc can be ignored.  The service
is free for now and will stay that way for at least the next six months.


 

However, I am may add a PayPal donation link since this is certainly not
free for me.  Of course there is no obligation to donate but I would
appreciate it.  Heck, if there are enough donations then the site could
remain free permanently.

 

There are some small issues since the script is wrapped in another
script, but I am aware of this and will find a fix shortly.  Besides
that, I could use any input on usability, additions, categories not
listed, or whatever jumps to mind.

 

I will also be adding a section to post resumes and other permanent job
postings.

 

Please test it out and let me know what you think.
