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

[Steve Totaro]

There is already one URGENT project posted so this may catch on quickly.


Just for clarification.  The Guru does get paid by the customer, there
are just no fees for the use of the site.  It is free to use but you
have to pay whatever amount you agree upon for the services.

Thanks,
Steve
