Well, the place bills itself as "socially responsible" and gives away web
access to poor folks and so on.  It looks like it's a regular corporation,
not a non-profit, but operates like a non-profit.  So I'd expect lower
salaries.  In return you get a warm fuzzy feeling.

Nonetheless this is very very low for an "expert-level" coder.  I just got a
job after many months of searching, and I can tell you that the web
programming jobs I looked at were all at least 45K, and often much more.
32K is reasonable for a secretary/receptionist.  In today's market, though,
I'm sure they'll get applicants.
