First, thank you Matthew and HN for a great resource.
Re metadata, please don't "require" it. I agree it would be nice if posters could find a more search-friendly way of saying "no remote", but I think it would be a huge mistake to impose any sort of format or content requirements, or any other barriers that increase the hassle for posters. Even something innocuous like "please read these simple guidelines before posting", and I would predict the number of posts will go down significantly. Our goal as programmers should be to write filters that can handle free form data, within reason, not to force humans into rigid forms for the convenience of easy filtering. Please don't surrender yet another valuable tool to the HR everything-must-fit-in-its-box mindset.

Required experience:
Are candidates expected to already know your stack, or will you consider people who are switching areas?
Do you have open offices? Cubicles?
Do you have daily meetings?
etc
For example, I'm only considering NYC, so I would like to easily search for:
NYC only
experience matching mine OR employers willing to let people switch
If anyone didn't have open offices, that would be a big ++ for me, so that would be nice to know.
