It used to be possible to join a group related to hiring devs on here but I think it’s been disabled starting with 1.2. You can still visit it here https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board but I don’t think you can make any posts to it anymore. As an alternative you could look at sites like elance and getafreelancer.
Personally I think some sort of a buddypress devs jobs board along with a link to it at the developers section would be very useful for devs looking for jobs and buddypress users looking to hire.
Andy Peatling is going to put up a consultants’ directory on here in the near future. I’m not sure what’s going on with that group, I’ll ask Andy to look.
@DJPaul – well it’s all groups isn’t it – as there’s no group forums on here, and no longer a wire, there’s nowhere to post content to groups is there? Or am I missing something?
Sorry, off topic I know.
@pandragon give some more info on your ‘avatar problem’ and someone can probably help you on here.
@mlovelock Yeah it seems group functionality was pretty much disabled with the new site launch.
Over the next few weeks I’m working on a complete new structure to this site all based on the new functionality in 1.2. The new design on this site (on internal pages) is basically a stop over until that is completed.
Groups are broken / useless / pointless on this site until that is done.
Apparently, groups are now pretty much dead on this site until the site is upgraded sometime in March. If you want, make a separate post for now
@Andy Sounds good I look forward to the new design. Have you considered integrating something like this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/idea-for-stimulating-plugin-development ?
