[add-art dev] Fwd: Add-Art development grant

[Steve Lambert]

fyi, copy of email Jamie sent to the mozilla jobs list.

We're hoping to hire out some of the coding that is way over our heads.

I have some money for this so if anyone ever wants to nominate some  
tedious or unusually tricky work to hire out, speak up.
