I also find it good to hear about these opportunities, I work with students
doing both under graduate and post graduate studies these emails enable me
to show to them that there are future opportunities and value in working
with Wikimedia projects. Even though the scope is small and appears
unlikely to be of interest I have had a student complete their studies here
in Perth, Western Australia and utilize those skill after taking up a
position at University in Johannesburg South Africa. I also know of two
students who have made applications to do doctoral studies in the US based
on these opportunities, and another person who applied for a UK WiR
position.
These opportunities are a very important aspect of sharing knowledge, and
community development as for all caps its really not that significant in
the greater scheme of things

I don't think the posting itself is inappropriate.
It's Wikimedia-related
business, and that, broadly, is what this list is for.
Still, the use of ALL CAPS for a subject which will only be of relevance to
a small fraction of readers is indeed a bit much. (And that's true even
beyond geography; I live in Colorado, but I'm not interested in such a
position.) So, I think that particular complaint is valid. Use regular
case, and let the reader decide whether it's of importance to them.

As a long time on and off subscriber to this list
for many years, I want
to
say that I do find posts about jobs like this
very useful, unlike posts
complaining about capitalization and geography. It is informative and
exciting to find out where Wikipedia projects are making in-roads, and
what
better place to find an experienced job candidate
who will respect
community norms and policies while editing on behalf of an employer.
