I was looking to hire a programmer to modify Chrome. What is the necessary skill set to ask for when intervening programmers. Additionally, where is the best place to go to hire a Chrome programmer?

I can't answer any of your questions but is there anything particular you want done?

As Chrome is still under heavy development, with lots of changes every version, I would be very careful in investing in these matters...

luc are you referring to being careful in hiring a programmer or being careful if someone says they're looking to hire a programmer ?
back in the gaming world, once in awhile we would get someone stating they were looking to hire a modder to create modifications for a game, something that every modder was doing for free anyways .
