Why not?  I've been subscribed to loads of jobs mailing lists over the  
years, and they work just fine.  I don't recall every seeing anyone  
else use a wiki to advertise jobs, though.

Yes, that would work well too.  (You can already pull some RSS feeds  
from live.gnome.org of course, but I don't know if you can limit them  
to a particular page-- and right now they're mostly useless because  
hardly anyone fills in the 'what changed' comment anyway.)

last century :)
