We’re preparing Phylo’s philosophy job wiki for a second year. Most immediately, this means that we’ve archived old listings. We’re also planning some changes to the layout and the function of the job wiki. These changes should make the wiki a little easier to use.

Users of our job wiki might be interested to know that Interfolio has broadened its capacity to handle electronic letters of recommendation. They’ve been able to email documents for some time now. Now they can apparently upload recommendations to online application sites
We recently launched our own philosophy job wiki to help the philosophical community keep track of academic job in philosophy. The community had maintained a wiki on a free wiki host, wikihost.org, for the past few years, which I found myself checking compulsively during my job search last year — not that it ever gave me anything but bad news. One big advantage of the new wiki is that it has an RSS feed (http://phylo.info/jobs/rss).
Phylo is built on top of two major open-source platforms: the Drupal content management system and the SIMILE family of JavaScript data management tools. At the moment, Phylo uses SIMILE’s Timeline on the main site and Exhibit on the new philosophy job wiki.
