After the dot com bust, they only interesting consulting job I could get as a 5 month gig for an Indian company writing a Java Sharepoint clone. They did not pay very well, but the work was satisfying. I have also had two remote gigs from China and a few from Europe. Earth seems flat (in the Thomas Freidman sense) to me! Btw, I live in the mountains of Central Arizona.

Sharepoint clone in Java in 5 months? I am intrigued. Want to share any details?

Sure. All files stored on disk. Meta data stored in memory using prevalence. I used JSP and custom tag libraries.
