We would like to use [login to view URL] to hire some freelance Ruby developers.
However, the site is virtually impossible to navigate.
What I would like to do is place all of the data (21,000 developers) into a database by:
- Name
- Link to profile
- Country
- Available for hire (yes or no)
- Number of people who recommend this person
- Number of people this person recommends
- Authority
- Popularity
- Forum posting rating
I would like this database updated daily.
Following that, I would like an interface where I can filter developers by any of the above criteria.
You can find a list of people at: [login to view URL]
I imagine one would have to build a crawler to start at "A" and work your way through, but you may be able to think of something more clever.
