Hello,

I’m writing to ask if there any developers that would  
provide a good home to a few Rails-oriented domain names that I bought  
with the intention of building a jobs portal for Rails developers:

> **[Job Search - Millions of Jobs Hiring Near You | ZipRecruiter](https://www.ziprecruiter.com/)**
>
> Search for jobs hiring in your area using ZipRecruiter's job search engine - the best way to find a job. Find jobs hiring near you and apply with just 1 click.

[RubyonRailsJobs.net](http://RubyonRailsJobs.net)  
[RubyonRailsJobs.org](http://RubyonRailsJobs.org)  
[RailsJobs.com](http://RailsJobs.com)  
[RailsJobs.net](http://RailsJobs.net)  
[RailsJobs.org](http://RailsJobs.org)

Rather than simply sell these to the highest bidder, I’m also looking  
for someone who has a good idea about how to harness interest in  
rails, and find work for Rails developers. Ideally the site would also  
bring Rails developers together to form start-ups as well.

The request for a good home can be found here:

[http://railsjobs.com/](http://railsjobs.com/)

The local Ruby list in Portland has received an increasing amount of  
requests for work, and before this kind of thing gets overwhelming I  
think it’s time someone built a  
platform. I just no longer have time to do so myself.

Please respond with unique ideas for the app, and perhaps even a  
ballpark price. And pass the word around. Perhaps we can find a  
developer or a team with a smart idea and good intentions and to  
represent rails to the business community.

Thanks,  
Marcus Estes

Hi Marcus,

Spot on.

How about an entire Rails community portal? (jobs + bloggrigator + user  
posted articles + jobs + plugin listings + ruby/rails package releases)

I have the beginnings of something in the works. We could have  
[RailsJobs.com](http://RailsJobs.com) point directly to the jobs page.

I’ll send you a note in email.

Funny, was thinking exactly that a few weeks ago. I’m spinning up  
‘[freshrails.com](http://freshrails.com)’ to be a Rails community site (splices together rails  
related blogs, jobs, plugin listings, etc). Figure that’ll give access  
to a wider audience too.

We could have [RailsJobs.com/etc](http://RailsJobs.com/etc) point directly to the [freshrails.com](http://freshrails.com)  
jobs section.

What do you think?
