I checked the site just now.. and see the following :(
Currently, 
there are 1 jobs (0 today) and 1342 resumes (2 today) live on the system

Agreed, but if the above figures are indicative of the usage of
these pages, I don't see it will help the job seekers much :(

Nice idea, however they (the Mojolin) folk will have to do something
to encourage companies with jobs to offer to post, else it won't work
local or otherwise.

They also state in their Affiliate Program..
"Currently, Mojolin is still absolutely free and therefore, no money changes hands. Until we starting charging for our services, all percentages are to be considered a percentage of $0.00 (IE, 25% of $0.00 equals $0.00). Having stated that, we do not believe it will be very long before we start charging for our services." 

I don't think recreating the wheel is a bad idea for Linux Aust, if the
available wheel designs are not working that well :)
