Ciaran, |

- From your post, it appears that standards were lowered during the |
29 |
recruitment drive you reference. If thats true, its a lesson for next |
30 |
time. That may well reduce the uptake rate compared to last time too |
31 |
but as you infer, new developers need the right skill set. |
32 |
|

At best, the publicity George suggests would raise awareness, which is |
34 |
the first step to getting more help of the right sort. |
