I don’t think integrating Ubuntu Wanted (completely) is the best solution, although you could use it, github and all those other online repositories for source code reviews and stats.

What I do think would work and is needed is a project that enables jobs to be created and searched that require the use of Ubuntu: server administration, graphic design with inkscape and gimp, proprietary coding for a company like Dreamworks and everything else of the like. This includes actually programming for software that is included in Ubuntu and Ubuntu-specific code. This is where Intel, IBM, Canonical, Nokia, etc. could pick their potential programmers. But I stress, the site should NOT be all about programmers. There are too many websites that are all about programmers. Ubuntu needs a crutch for those who use Ubuntu but may not specifically develop it.

If anything is to be developed off of Launchpad, I think it should be MSDN-like documentation.

This is also where Ubuntu could make call-outs to graphics artists for backgrounds etc. So some jobs may be voluntary, some may be paid and some may even be full-time positions looking to get filled.

Ubuntu’s community would grow exponentially with a well-groomed and well-maintained website like that.
