zeejayoz: as you will have seen from the others who responded, it's not a salaried position, it's a contract job. Contractors have to pay for their own equipment, supplies, business taxes, licenses, etc. For example, as a freelancer I pay almost twice the federal FICA tax rate of a salaried worker. Plus, I have to take out unpaid time for marketing, and sometimes, even if you're good, you'll find yourself with a week or two of unexpected (and unpaid) vacation. Contract workers have to plan and budget for all of that. So yes, it's below the going rate for experienced developers in any part of the country here in the US. It's way below the going rate for developers with 5 years of experience. I think LibriVox is smart to lower the amount of experience they are requiring -- they'll likely end up with a better developer because of it (although there are no guarantees at below market rates).
