About the developer hiring, I think it could be worth opening an issue on GitHub and pinning it, so that people who are currently active there see that. I have personally notified elebitzero and @Sunil_Natraj ([OpenRefine developer job · Issue #4 · wetneb/hello-elebitzero · GitHub](https://github.com/wetneb/hello-elebitzero/issues/4)). It could also be worth posting it on [https://www.fossjobs.net/](https://www.fossjobs.net/) ---
