Organization

= To emulate a non-profit organization = By Brandon Smith

Hey there!

I'm looking to form a full-time staff board to help move the project along. As of late, it has really been just me bearing the weight of the project. I have to wear many, many hats: From Systems Administrator to Public Relations. This is a lot to do by yourself! Especially when you also go to College! So I am looking to find people who are interested in joining me with continuing to build CorningWiki and help relieve some of the load.

= The Hats to be Worn =

Here is what I seek help with! If you have a criminal background, depending on the crime committed, you may not be eligible for any of these.

System Administration
This assignment is fairly straightforward. I seek someone to help me maintain the server that CorningWiki runs on. As well as to help me keep up with the latest security flaws, checking on the server's firewall logs and routinely checking for infections.

Requirements:

- GNU/Linux and Bash experience - MySQL experience - Apache experience - Apt/Apt-get/deb-based GNU/Linux distributions experience - PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and/or CSS experience - Experience with using OpenSSH

Public Relations
In case you may have heard of this as a different name, Public Relations quite simply means that you interact with the public. CorningWiki has been in multiple forms of news media (Newspaper, television, etc) and has Social Network accounts.

Requirements:

- People Skills - Knowledge of and know how to use Facebook, Twitter, and diaspora* - Ability to manage advertising and news stories - Basic office suite software knowledge

Site Administration
This job has it's easy and hard tasks. A lot of this deals with managing the administration pages and moderating the actual CorningWiki site and preventing vandalism.

Requirements:

- Experience with Wiki software and code syntax and/or editing Wikipedia - Basic CSS/HTML code knowledge - Ability to act cool and deal with jerks in a professional manner

Proof-reading/Editing
This task is a very tedious one because of the amount of content on CorningWiki. It's not too difficult if you have mad skillz.

Requirements:

- Good spelling and grammar and knowledge of the English language - Patience - An eye for detail

Accounting
I've never liked doing this!

Requirements:

- Good mathematics skills - Knowledge of operating and managing donations in a non-profit organization-like setting. - Financial and Business knowledge - Knowledge with PayPal and other protocols for collecting donations

Historical Administration
Historical Administrators deal with adding Historical content as well as interacting with local historical societies with getting information added.

Requirements:

- People Skills - Wiki programming language knowledge

Cwiki Goods Manager
I need someone to manage Cwiki Goods. This is a big section that needs a lot of work in it. It's not too difficult of a job to do. You're mostly finding out what products are sold where!

Requirements:

- Experience with Wiki code - Patience - Geographical knowledge of the Corning area

If you're asking "Well, are we going to make some money?". The answer is yes! But in order to do so, we must work together to receive donations and gifts. If you would not like to join as part time but are willing to help out a bit, that's okay too! Simply visit this page!

If you think you have an interest and would like to join me on this quest, please [mailto:theatrex@riseup.net Contact Me via email] or Contact me via CorningWiki!

Thanks for reading!
