Hello?

Is it too early to get this going? Not sure how to do it or I would. Cut and paste from last year?

Probably not too early. I've already seen the first decent TT posting for my field.

I don't know how to get this page started -- but it's definitely not too early; I'm in Modern European history, and a handful of jobs have begun to appear (e.g., Bates College).

Totally not too early, I've been waiting impatiently for this. What's that? Do it myself? Why, no, never!

The Chronicle of Higher Ed just changed its format, and their jobs page is harder to find and use. (They also just abruptly laid off several employees at their sister pub., the Chronicle of Philanthropy; like most publications, they're in a severe crisis. They're not handling it well, though, according to some employees I know.)

The Chronicle posted this semi-apology for their new jobs site, which is a disaster: http://chronicle.com/page/A-Note-About-Our-Jobs-Site/66/

Once the first place to look, the CHE site is now the last place.

A. Hi back! Let the people in each subfield craft their own wikis: there are different issues involved. Thanks for creating the main page!!

While waiting for job ads, try working on some publications, and update this page: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/History_Journal_Response_Times

Can we get a Middle East/Africa category as well?

A. You see that button that says "edit"? Create whatever categories you want, then build the page they link to. You can create your own page for any subfield.

Q: A general question: It's now Aug. 16, and there are only a handful of jobs in European history (the field I follow most closely). It's likely that there will be fewer job openings this year, but my question (as a relative new-comer to the job market) is: when do most job ads appear? Probably in the next month, I recall from the last two years?

Comment: Wait, so now we've got a Middle Eastern History page AND a Middle East/Africa Jobs page? This seems silly. Make one page, or make two distinct pages, don't make two pages that overlap. EDIT: Fixed. I made one combined page. If someone wants to break Middle East/Africa into two different pages, feel free to do so.
