hmm. Separate section?

rafaecheve commented 9 years ago

maybe, what do the people say? I think for now a separate section will make it

robertbenjamin commented 9 years ago

I think it'd be a good decision! The point of remote jobs (for the most place) is locational freedom, jobs on Worldpackers (and HelpX, WWOOF, etc) give you that freedom since you can choose where and who to work for.

tedder commented 9 years ago

I'm good with it, there's certainly a subset of "working remote while roaming the world" type people. Some of the things on "Others" like nomadlist could move to that category.

I'll reorganize some of them in a PR if it's desired.

rafaecheve commented 9 years ago

any suggestions for the section naming welcome!

robertbenjamin commented 9 years ago

Maybe 'Work / Housing Exchange?' 'Hospitality Service' is what it's officially called.

tedder commented 9 years ago

sure, but it's more than "housing exchange". I kinda like "digital nomads" or something that covers more ground.

robertbenjamin commented 9 years ago

Most of the opportunities on these sites aren't digital work, they're typical light physical housework or teaching a language / skill. I don't know of any site that lets you work online in exchange for housing, although that would be really cool.

bzz commented 9 years ago

Are there other examples that fit in the suggested category? We could deduce a better name from that

robertbenjamin commented 9 years ago

The most popular ones are HelpX, WWOOF, Worldpackers, Workaway, Global Exchange.

bzz commented 9 years ago

as #125 was merged Work / Housing Exchange how it is called now. Sounds good but a bit confusing at the first sight..

May be Work in exchange for Housing?

thanks @robertbenjamin ! Should we include those too? At least WWOOF looks pretty awesome

robertbenjamin commented 9 years ago

I'd definitely add WWOOF and HelpX, there are a ton of crazy cool opportunities on there if you look carefully!

We now have a housing section. Thanks, all.
