Volunteer Search: Webmaster Team

[otw-recruit.livejournal.com]

As part of our plan to move our base of operations off LiveJournal, the OTW is putting together a webmaster team to build and maintain our website. We have positions for people with a variety of skills--the main requirements are free time and enthusiasm! The webmaster team will keep our current website updated, while designing and implementing the next version, which will run on a Content Management System (CMS). We are currently in the process of choosing a system.

• Website Updaters
  Do you know enough HTML to make a basic webpage or to format a LiveJournal post? Are you reliably online and willing to take one week-long rotation a month to help out with keeping our website and our FAQ up to date? Please volunteer to be a Website Updater! This is a long-term position, and we are looking for a big group of reliable people to share this responsibility.
  
  
• Website Designers
  Do you love putting together cool websites? Design one for us! It needs to be readable, accessible, and written in XHTML/CSS. We'll be taking your design and implementing it in a Content Management System. This is a short-term job, and perfect for someone who wants to be involved but can't make an ongoing time commitment.
  
  
• CMS Maintainers
  Do you have experience with a Content Management System like Drupal or Radiant or Mephisto, or would you like to learn? If you've ever set up and worked with a tool like WordPress on your own site, this is pretty much the same idea. CMS Maintainers must be reliably online and willing to be responsible for one week-long rotation each month. This is a long-term position, and we'll be happy to provide help and support if you like the idea of learning how!

Estimated Time Involved: Could be as much as five hours a week, including a weekly committee meeting of one to two hours.
