Sounds good to me.

I believe we should wait a few weeks though.  The resources we have for
doing site work at the moment are kind of committed to things, and it
will take a while to introduce new people, etc.

I'm all for adding listings of jobs, but I'm not sure if listing people
who are looking around is a good idea.

I definitely believe we should allow agencies to list their jobs at no
charge.  Just because they're into business doesn't mean we have to take
a cut of it.  This should also mean they feel more comfortable about
posting PostgreSQL jobs, and thereby benefits our community.
