We finally got the open beta up, the work database and the service listing database do not exist yet, however this is a major landmark for us. Please feel free to browse around the site, and report any issues that you are having to the proper forums.

This website is for anyone providing a service, such as building, scripting, etc, and to link qualified individuals that have special abilities, with open jobs within the Second Life metaverse.

People will post jobs up, and also a budget. Freelancers will bid on the job, and the job poster will review each freelancer's profile, their experience, their job history, and their rating. They will also take into account the number of disputes on the freelancer's account. Once the freelancer completes the work, the project, and the funds will go to escrow. We will take a small percentage, the amount as of yet undecided, and then release.

We will also have a service directory where anyone can list any type of service imaginable in SL.
