Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2016)

Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility.

SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE

I’m looking for someone to work on a couple of Confluence plugins (Java code that works with the Confluence API’s to display extra information on a Wiki).

I’m thinking 10 hours a month so it could definitely be a small side gig. Good hourly pay, and I’m willing to entertain the idea of a retainer.
