[IxDA Discuss] about this list (not in FAQ)

[Anirudha Joshi]

Perhaps because (outside of US) this is percieved to be an
international list. Jobs usually go by location - country, even city.

For example, there is an Indian mailing list called HCIIDC <plug>
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hciidc/ </plug> that has a bunch of job
posts for HCI / UX / Usabiliity (about 50 in a year) relevant to
India, along with other discussion. I see many of the job announcers
on HCIIDC posting otherwise on IxDG, but they don't post job
announcements here.

Intersting point though. Never noticed it before.

Interestingly, I do see F2F meeting announcement corss posts on both
lists, which are absolutely local. Explain that...
