My posts about our team looking to hire experts in these fields has generated a lot of interest, especially the post about "Emacs.Net".

If you sent me email (either to inquire about a job or offering to alpha/beta test), thank you.

As soon as I get a chance over the break, I'll go through them en mass and get back to everyone.

Many of the emails and trackback postings that I saw asked some specific questions that I will answer below for everyone's benefit:

1. Are these positions full-time?  Yes.
2. Are these positions based in the U.S.?  Yes, although for the right person, we will consider remote.  That said, I only have one person working remotely today -- Chris Sells.  He is both the right person and he is only 3 hours away as the car speeds up I-5.
3. Are these positions based in Redmond?  See above.
4. What's the salary?  We are looking for senior people with industry experience designing & building languages, compilers and tools.  We know what it takes to attract people like that and we will pay it.

There were just as many questions about exactly what we are building that I am not going to answer.

If we do our jobs, you should be hearing more about it in October or if you get a job with us, you can find out more about much sooner.
