Before I toss this out on Craigslist I thought I'd run it by my friends list and see if anybody might be interested. We're really looking for someone in the Bay Area preferably, who would be available for meetings and "face time". Contact email's at the bottom of the listing, and I'm afraid I don't know anything about compensation at this point. Any other questions I will do my best to answer.

One thing I will emphasize, we're flexible on most points but the team player thing is essential. If you know of anyone who'd be interested point 'em here or forward the details on, thanks!
