Would be cooler if you had a job board where consultants could outsource bits of their work to other GitHubbers. It would require a Github subscription. That way it drives more subscribers and keeps the job board free from recruiters and spammers. It would also create a special Github community, where people could trade out work. You could probably also have some kind of integration into Github, like giving someone Git access to a certain directory only, or similar.

I don't see what would be cool in that. > It would also create a special Github community, where people could trade out work. Moving the reward from being social in nature (the appreciation of your peers, either those who use/contribute to your project or those whose projects you contribute to) to being an exchange of good, cheapening the whole community.
- oomkiller 16y agoGood point. I wouldn't want to see Githubacoder :) There are many problems with Rentacoder, but I think there is a way to blend a short term job board with social coding. Possibly just building on to the "For Hire" feature they already have.
