I mentioned it a while back and a few peeps were interested but am thinking we start the ball rolling.
obviously this economic issue has effected some of us as far as layoffs and the like.
i'm proposing we setup or approach QBN to create a side-product to Krop that allows for a limited portfolio and lists skill-sets of QBNers who are available for freelance. include country etc. it should be a free setup or really cheap so as to be a help rather than a revenue stream for the creator. maybe i'm being over ambitious.
i for one don't have much work at the moment but when it comes up i'd love to know that i can get someone here on QBN to work it and we all help each other out.
hourly rates can be discussed on a case by case basis but the actual point of contact and availability could come from here or one of us.
with the world wide nature of our members it could be good as the work cycle isn't restricted to 1 specific timezone, meaning that a work could be happening through one of us while the other is asleep. a 24 work cycle in some instances.
i'm happy to host and help with design / build but it would need to be a database run, theme built thiing to allow peeps to join, upload info / images etc.
anyone keen / interested?

wat flavorful said...

and when listing someone's skills i propose to not use the fucking word 'skillz'. terms like 'rad' or 'ace' will also be a no-show.

- I agree. Also no use of the term "rockstar"livelikebruce

I'm just pointing out something already in place which is exactly what you want, it just doesn't have the QBN Badge on it.
There may be others, there may be people who want to use teh PVN. I know threads that don't go through Krop are kind of frowned upon however.
- isn't that a much larger pool of people who you don't "know", therefore less chance of getting work from it?magnificent_ruin

Good idea, except many of the members here advocate socialism.
I won't name names.

ahh, socialism is kind of the basis of the idea. if it wasn't the message would have been one of membership, setup and ongoing work fees.
marketmaker, i'd have though your grip of 'ism's' would have been stronger than this.
you know best of course.

When money get involved, things go sour. Even there is no money involved, things go sour.
Examples: Print Exchange / Black book etc.
