Lets make a page we can put on responsivenews.co.uk to tell people what its like to work here. Its just something we can point people to when we don't/in addition to a job ad. It annoys me that we don't have something like this.

We should probably explain these points with a sentence.

Agree with @sthulbourn -> this needs a paragraph of text to explain/clarify each point.

Probably worth including a point about the fact that code base is open to change/evolution (lets devs know they can have an impact).

I think we should merge some of these points into https://gist.github.com/jcleveley/1344621

HR made my add the crappy competencies bit :(

Yep, definitely flesh them out. This is a skeleton starting point. Dave could take some nice photos with his camera for us to use.
