Compare code samples. If that's not enough, look at their skills with git, bug reports/fixes, and general development/communication habits. OSS contribution and competence seem so correlated that I wouldn't consider a candidate without it (and I'm not alone here.) What will you get for going the opposite way? --Eric _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
