filtering and table presentation are nice on groups.drupal.org. but the 
big win is targeted posting. the way most people post jobs is that they 
navigate to their local group (i.e. boston, benelux, south africa) and 
they post a job there - then the subscribers of that group receive 
notification via email or rss. groups.drupal.org is still primarily 
about local user groups, and job postings are a natural need of that 
audience.

i need to announce the jobs feature to the community. it had a silent 
launch while we were at yahoo and i have been lazy about announcing it.
