router operating system.  Your successful execution will affect
hundreds of developers and potentially gain you multiple references

I am constantly getting amazing feedback from users that encourages
me on a daily basis.  I would like to continue this trend and improve
on it.

. Understanding of user interface issues, this tool must
be friendly to use.

What we'll be working on:
. Making suggestions for improving the build tool.
. Implementing features and fixes that come from YOU, users or
  common sense.
. Triaging bugs from users and entering them into the defect
  system.
. Fixing bugs in the build tool.
. Replying to users in a cordial and helpful manner.
. We need someone smart and focused to look at the issues and
give feedback.

I'll need a minimum of 2 hours per day, during work hours (for
email replies).  

Extra consideration will be given to anyone local to Sunnyvale CA
or San Francisco, CA who can be on site.

Extra consideration will be given to applicants that can work more

fluent in some scripting language such as Perl, Python, Ruby,
whatever.
