otw-recruit.livejournal.comJob Title: ADT-001 Tags Researcher
Reports To: Accessibility, Design, & Technology committee.
Job Description: We need someone fairly code-savvy to investigate various tagging and categorization systems -- livejournal, delicious, flicker, etc -- and open-source tagging solutions (ideally ones done in Ruby). Our goal is to get a big picture view of what is available out there off-the-shelf, and a summary of the pros and cons of various tagging systems.
Skills Required: Understanding of the tagging concept, familiarity and login ability on a slew of social-networking websites (ie, someone who already has the lj, delicious, flicker, myspace, facebook, ravelry, etc etc etc accounts so doesn't have to start from scratch), and comfort with browsing open-source software (rubyforge.org and sourceforge.net).
Estimated Time Commitment/Length of Commitment: Not sure! This is the kind of thing that can expand to fill the time it is allowed, but we would rather have a high-level overview of a lot of places than a deep investigation of a few. We're looking at perhaps a two week timeframe for getting the results back to the committee.
Application Process: Send an email to volunteers@transformativeworks.org or post a comment here. All comments on this post are screened in order to protect the privacy of volunteers providing personal information.
Please include the following information:
