+Ikiwiki is free software, worked on by various people to "scratch their
+itch". Some people either don't have the time or have specialized needs and
+are willing to hire someone to either maintain or add additional
+functionality to ikiwiki. The following is a list of people who are
+available to do consulting or other work on ikiwiki.
+
+* [[Joey]] wrote ikiwiki. He is available for consulting on a part-time basis.

+I was asked a good question today: How can a company find someone to work
+on ikiwiki? To help answer this question, I've set up a [[consultants]] page.
+If you might be interested in being paid to work on ikiwiki, please add your
+information to the page. --[[Joey]]
+
+And here's the first company looking for an ikiwiki developer that I am
+aware of:
+
+> The TOVA Company, a small medical software and hardware company in
+> Portland, Oregon, is looking for developers to add functionality to
+> ikiwiki. We're looking for developers who are already familiar with ikiwiki
+> development, including plugins, and who would be willing to work on a
+> part-time, non-employee, project-based basis for each of the small features
+> that we want. The [[features_we're_interested_in|users/The_TOVA_Company]]
+> would obviously be GPL'd, and released to the community (if they'll have
+> them :) ). Please contact Andrew Greenberg (andrew@thetovacompany) if
+> you're interested. Thanks!
