MIRI has hired an artist, an LW programmer, and probably some others on oDesk. One person I heard about pays $1/hr people on oDesk to just sit with him on Skype all day and keep him on task.
That's pretty useful. I would definitely be interested to hear what works best and how such arrangements affect productivity.
