Why not add them to oDesk's pool of tests and develop some hybrid hourly / fixed model for EE developers. US-based EE contractors would benefit of it. They can meet "in-person" with customers and also their work could be monitored.
I'd consider not only "PC Monitor" screenshots, but also digital photo of the working area screenshots.
Thanks.
The webcam snaps are a
on Fri, 2008-11-14 17:24.The webcam snaps are a great option for showing non-computer work. Just be aware of two potential issues:
- the client will stop logging snapshots if your computer is idle (no mouse or keyboard clicks) for more than 10 minutes.
- work shown only via webcam snapshots may not qualify for the payment guarantee.

"snapshot" working area "officially".
The idea was to to let EE guys (or other this kind of contractors) to "snapshot" working area "officially". The series of the snapshots about the progress of the development of, say, an electronic board combined with the relevant screen snapshots would prove to a buyer that working hours have been spent the right way.
So, you don't like my suggested "hack"?
on Fri, 2008-11-14 22:24.Alright, I confess - the webcam is a bit of a "hack". If the EE category takes off on oDesk, we would certainly invest behind it.
In the meantime, we've launched the following tests and they are available for anyone to take at anytime:
Digital Electronics Test
Digital Imaging Test
Digital Signal Processing Test
Electronic Design Test
Embedded Systems Test
PCB Design Test
Semiconductor Electronics Test
USB Electronics Test
You can go here to take the tests - good luck! :-)

Thanks for looking into these additional tests. We can likely add these tests to the available tests on oDesk.
FYI - there is a completely optional webcam feature that works with oDesk Team timelogging application. If you point the webcam to a working area - you will get snapshots included in the Work Diary.
