Yes, since the freelancer thread fills this need, I think it would be more interesting to have in a "I wish someone would build this" thread, where a specific need is articulated. The poster could add a bounty or something to it.

I second this idea of "I wish someone would build this". The freelancer thread is more generic. I sometimes need specific things like "Install wordpress on AWS EC2 with nginx" etc type of project. This way, I only hear from the freelancers (hopefully) who have done this before.

Yes, Freelancer seeking Freelancer fills this need. Unfortunately it had not been a regular monthly occurrence lately.

It has - see https://hn.algolia.com/?query=seeking%20freelancer&sort=byDa...

But sadly it hasn't made the front page in a while. It seems to be posted around 14:00 UTC - search around then and upvote once it appears.
