Hmm... two thoughts about this
- why not use the opportunity to charge people to advertise
positions? it seems very standard... and a wasted opportunity to do it for nothing.
Well this is Open Source Environment. However I think that a paypal (for mediawiki fundation) button could be a good addition. I.e. no fixed charge but if you find this site useful make a donation.
2) IMO Wiki pages are terrible for non-wiki purposes... jobs board
screams "threaded discussions/forum style environment" to me. A wiki's not intended to perform every conceivable purpose for every conceivable website. So why not use that is designed to handle threaded discussion, ie forum software?
Much the same is with - http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/ConsultantsForHire. What for start discussion forum - just a contact point (i.e. job board) rest can be further discussed @ user talk pages. Just a more wiki-way of contacting potential employer with potential employee.
"A wiki's not intended to perform every conceivable purpose for every conceivable website"
Maybe you should change the mailing list you forum propaganda spy;) Just joking - I think it is possible to do a lot with MW (discussion is quite easy in fact). Maybe a challenge - name a purpose I will name a wiki-like solution.

I'm sure many of the forum software teams use wikis to write their
documentation. see? use software for their strengths, not for EVERYTHING :)
ps to Aretai. if my ideas succeed I hope it is because they are good and I present them well and they meet the right ears, not because I'm female.
