Seeking Ruby Web Developer

I am looking for a Web developer to help with CommunityGoals. This is a great opportunity for a motivated developer to join me to accelerate the development of an innovative and meaningful project. 

• Solid Ruby skills are essential. As a rule of thumb, I’m looking for a year or more of experience. That said, your current skill level and ability to write solid code is way more important than an arbitrary experience requirement.
• Rails experience is important.  However, it looks like the next major release will be on a Merb + DataMapper + jQuery stack. Other important technologies include git and RSpec.
• This will be a 2 month contract position that may be extended if things go well.
• I *am* looking for a developer who wants to join a very small company and grow with it. 
• I am *not* seeking bids from Rails consulting shops, for two reasons. First, I don’t see most consulting shops as having a good alignment with my mission.  Second, I want to build up internal expertise.
• I prefer 40 hours/week of availability.
• I am only considering candidates in the DC area. The highest bandwidth communication happens in person. I have an office in Dupont Circle with room for you.
