Discussion / Rumors / Speculation
How would people feel about removing some of the info for these postings to make it easier to find the discussions for each? I feel like most people use this site for the discussions rather than for finding and applying to jobs. We could list the job with a link to the posting, include a quick blurb about subspecialty, and then have a section for search progression. I'm not sure if it's the headings or what but I'm finding it much harder to use this wiki than the ones we've had in past years.
11/15: I agree with post above. I am personally enjoying the spreadsheet format of ecoevojobs.net which prioritizes comments/updates and is easier to navigate. I would be fine with slimming the info down for each job (a link and brief blurb) or switching the format of this page all together. (x2)
So.... can we do this?
