Those are posts from 2007. Nowadays I believe it is safe to say that all we

MediaWiki development related jobs.
It's worth discussing. I'm inclined to agree with those comments
from 2007 fwiw.
Can you share your reasons? Here or that talk page.
Free software projects big / complex enough to have professionals
specialized on them tend to have a Jobs section at their websites or
somewhere nearby.
It is usually the interest of any free software community to have people
working on their technologies full time. Having a place to advertise
positions helps. The WMF is the biggest employer and has to put plenty
of effort to reach out. The situation of smaller companies willing to
hire MediaWiki developers is a lot worse.
