Hi Tim,<div><br></div><div>We've had interns in the past albeit not programmers but we've always managed to work something out maintaining a good relationship with them. In fact, one of our Curators first joined us as an intern.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're not really looking for a one of slave but for a brilliant person who can join us in our long term journey to create something awesome and kick ass.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>

I hope that if you expect your intern to work specific hours, complete<br>
specific pieces of work, or do any work at all that would otherwise be<br>
done by a paid employee, that you'll be paying (at least!) the minimum<br>
wage. To do otherwise is actually illegal[1], and in my opinion at<br>
least, hugely exploitatitive and unethical. Let's not have software<br>
development go the way of PR, politics and the media in expecting<br>
people to work for free (and therefore restricting employment<br>
opportunities to those with independent means to do so).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
