Barefootsies has a great thread where he asked for "senior-level" coder recommendations, and isteve and I laid out considerations when choosing a candidate.

I appreciate the mentions in this thread, but I'm probably the most expensive coder here, and wouldn't be appropriate for any but the highest-budget and most technically-challenging projects.
