[Q] Which thread should I post for private development? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I would like to check if any developers on XDA are interested for hire by me to do some private android app development.
Is such a request appropriate on XDA and if so, which, section/thread is the correct place to post it?
Thanks!

There isnt really a section for this, we are a community for developers to share work, not a place to find jobs.
Saying that some people do post when they need work done, your best bet if you want to stay around here is contribute and show off your skills then someone would likely come to you

Android Developer Contract

I am not sure if this is allowed on this site or if it belongs in a different forum, but I was wondering if anyone on this site was seeking a job position as an android developer in Chicago. It is a 6 month contract position. They aren't looking for someone that makes apps but someone with solid experience with android operating systems. They also want java and api experience. If anyone is interested or has any questions, email me at [email protected] If you are interested and don't mind doing so, I'd appreciate an updated resume along with it.
Thank you,
Connor McLeod

Was does XDA have a job board?
We get numerous requests from companies looking to hire bright engineers and developers, and XDA has thousands of people of this caliber. With unemployment at record highs all across the world, we thought we'd do our part by connecting firms that are hiring, with people that might be interested in work.
Are these paid jobs?
Yes, all jobs are salaried positions.
How do I get my job posted here?
Email [email protected] from your corporate email address. Provide the job posting and location. We will do our best to verify the validity of the job.
Please note: We provide this job board as a free service, and will not be involved in any of the hiring process.

Possible solution to non dev posts in dev threads

Would there be any way to have a special membership level in the forum privileges that allows posting in the dev forums, this would force people I.E. general users with questions to read and discover the Q&A forums. To get said privileges someone should simply have to request and agree not to break those rules. Good idea?

No. Bad idea.
The Dev forums should be locked to anyone who doesn't have special status on XDA (e.g. Devs, RCs, RTs etc). For a 'normal' user to be able to post in the Dev forum they should have to be invited and approved by the Devs - and that right could be rescinded at any time.
That would have the secondary benefit of stopping the people who continually post useless cr4p just to get their post count up to 10

I agree... To a point, the problem is to get RD ir RC you have to post guides or dev work... Which normally should go in the development section.
It really is a hard one and nothing will ever please all

I'm not so sure that an invite system would be neccesary... just have a simple I agree site that gives access to the dev forums and the halfwits who go through that just to post where they shouldn't could then be banned and do everyone in these forums a favor!

Umm, if you would propose that everyone who doesnt post in the correct section should be banned, then OP, you are kinda
stepping on your own feet...
As this thread belongs in About XDA...
As stated before, there doesn't seem to be a "one rule pleases all" compromise...

Well, for RC, you don't *necessarily* need to create threads, and that too, in the dev section...
Afaik, guides belong to the general section, but there are also accepted in the dev section if it is directly related to development, or is there to prevent non-dev posts in dev area...

Yeah I can appreciate your sentiment but it's not a workable solution. Honestly I don't even think there's a problem, the mods are on their game and the 10 post rule helped weed out some people.

Actually, there must be something to keep them out of OT too, as n00bs come there frequently to increase their post count. I told two of them off today and I got ripped off for being a "party pooper". Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.

I just think if its important enough to keep the dev posts clean that they will lock them and then we get all the posts *****ing about misposts (worse then the mispost itself) then why not try something a little more locked down... why would a user like myself need access to post in a dev forum for?

If you had frequent SODs you could up a logcat, it's very basic stuff and could potentially help the dev out.
Good ideas are always good, and i frequent the HD2 and Galaxy Nexus forums quite a bit, 2 of the busier dev forums, and don't really see problems with this.

[Q] I'm new... How do I?

What's the difference between regular forums and "developer" forums?
I did a google search to find out how to edit an APK name and it sent me to XDA. WOW, there's a lot of good stuff on here... but when I went to ask a question on the forum it said I didn't have enough experience and needed a minimum of 10 posts. (I'm assuming this counts as one?)

Any forum that says development or similar you can't post until 10 post. This is to prevent spamming, flaming, and various other deviant acts from new users, directed toward the development base of this site.
You can post help and questions in any other relevant area, to help you learn the site, and build up post.

Rule 7 generally does not allow you to sell it here.
But you might be able to start a thread in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum to advertise it and discuss it. Read the stickies in that thread, and look at a few threads that are already in there to get an idea of how to approach it. Often, people who create a new app with the intention to sell it will offer a free version in their thread here for fellow members.
From my quick look, it seems you need to have some contribution history here at XDA to post in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum, which it seems you do not (yet).
Hope this helps! Good luck!

There is a link right on the contact page http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/
But I should inform you that XDA is not a help site. It is a development site which provides information for members to find and learn themselves.
I am sorry you did not find what you wanted.
