Maybe we as should design a little machine readable snippet that can optionally be added to the end of posts. I'd suggest json as it's easy to read/write and is popular. e.g
...post...
{type: ["intern"], languages: ["ruby", "scala"], frameworks: ["rails", "lift"], location: {city: "vancouver", region: "bc", country: "canada"}}
Simple schema, all optional keys:
{ type: ["intern"|"remote"|"h1b"|"fulltime"|"partime"],
languages: [..self explanatory..],
frameworks: [..self explanatory..],
location: <see below>
}
location could be an object as I have it above, or a simple [long, lat] pair, or a url to google maps such as (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Vancouver,+British+Columbia&hl=en&ll=49.273629,-123.097&spn=0.228031,0.617294&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=28.909861,79.013672&t=h&z=11&iwloc=A http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Vancouver,+British+Columbia&...). [long, lat] is probably the simplest and most precise but it's difficult to author/discover your own location.
