Hello!

I need to build a job board system for a new application I’m working  
on. I’m curious if there are any examples or plugins for this? I _can_  
build it but I’d rather not re-invent the wheel on this one.

The problem is: all my searches just keep showing other job posting  
sites, not any examples of code to build a job posting site.

Any pointers to sample code or plugins for this?

Thanks!

-Danimal

Sure, at the end of the day, a job board is just a specialized type of  
forum.

Look for some rails forum software, it will get you going in the right  
direction

The most well-known Rails-based forum at the moment is probably Beast:
