We think, we have realized all your requirements. Anyway, let us
know anything.

  Problem:
    The FAQ. Who can post job offers.
  Solution:
    We have applied your restrictions.

  Problem:
    The Qualifications search facility.
  Solution:
    Such feature has been deleted from the webapp.

  Improvement:
    Replaced some of the free-to-fill fields with combo
    boxes. Now we have more control about what a job offer
    exposes. Besides, manual checking will be easier.

  Improvement:
    Applicant guidelines: make it easier to applicants report
    wrong conducts so that the association can block accounts
    identified by its unique IDs: email, name+address, landline,
    mobile phone, VoIP id, etc.
    This email address, address@hidden , is
    exposed on each joboffer view.

  Improvement:
    Access Control List (ACL)
    Proposed feature: Per user ACL.

  Improvement:
    We are ready to check user warnings about suspicious-joboffer.

  Manual checks which the FSF could support:
    Check each job offer before being posted or check
    entities only each year and enable it to post.

This want to be a GNU project. So what you say, we will do. We just
discuss with you, some times, to notice others possible solutions.

> Where do they stand now?

We are ready. The pre-test result seems OK.

Steps we would like carry on with:

 Announcement
   We would prefer you announce the project.
   We would like move the HTTP and PostgreSQL service to
   your hosts sooner than later.

 Go live, still on beta stage, with:
   All the certifications disabled, as the GNU Business Network, etc.
   Without manual checks. Will the FSF support the manual checks?. We
   do not have resources to realize it.


What you best can do it take a look at http://www.gnuherds.org/ and let us 
know what must be changed.

The work team
