The consultants page on the ALU wiki (http://wiki.alu.org/Consultant)
seems out of date. I'd like to have somewhere to point managers or
business owners to where they can get professional-level help for
professional-level prices.

Who here is/knows CL consultants and freelancers? Please add/encourage
them to add themselves to the ALU consultants page. If there's another
directory you think should be used instead, please let me know.

The immediate motivation is that LinkedIn gave me some free ad credit,
and I'm planning to use that to run some ads targeted at software
managers and pointing to
https://sites.google.com/site/beatingtheaveragescl/ (feedback on that
idea and landing page appreciated as well).

Editing that page does not work for me. Maybe a redacted page would
make more sense.

You should be able to edit the page if you create an account first (see
the login link under the page title).

A top priority is for the ALU to completely revamp their web pages. It
seems to me that this should include adding a new "careers" section.
That might include links to existing resources such as the Lispjobs blog
as well as a section for companies and consultants to advertise their
services. Unlike the wiki, it should be under editorial control for a
more professional appearance. (i.e. There should be a uniform style,
annual updates, etc.)

On that note, we are starting to sketch up what content is needed; but we
don't have anyone eager to do the actual web design. I think the ALU
board would be open to proposals, both for technologies and people...

Later,
Daniel
