I see you are running a php3 script to parse the info submitted. If you
have a MySQL backend, you could log the info into a database with a field
for the date of submission. Then, just select records that are from the
last 7 days.
In addition to the email notice of a new job offering, you could also use
a web admin interface to activate new job submission, ie. Slashdot News
posting. Just add another field (like "Active", "0" for true and "1" for
false) to the database, then after receiving your email notice of the new
submission and double check to see if all the necessary info are there,
you could just click a checkbox and the new job offering would be active
and be listed in the job page. Of course this is extra work, but it should
make life administring the job page easier.
Data checking / verification is another recommendation. This could be done
using either JavaScript or PHP.
These are just some of my suggestions. Since SLUG is a community, everyone
should help out and make this job page beneficial to all of us.
BTW, great job, Paul.
