[Web4lib] [ANN] Katipo Communications in Wellington, New Zealand, Hiring Junior Zebra and Rails Developer

[Walter McGinnis]

Hello again,

Katipo is again looking to expand our Kete development team.

Some background on Kete.  Although not exclusively a library  
application, Kete was originally written by Katipo for Horowhenua  
Library Trust for their online community site at http://horowhenua.kete.net.nz/ 
.  A number of other libraries have Kete based projects in the works.

Here's our the latest job position posting:

The details from our previous message about hiring still apply, though  
I would say that Perl skills are preferred, but not required.

Cheers,
Walter
