Hi, We're looking for folks to help us with some projects. They're good opportunities to become more involved with crux and don't require much specific knowledge. All of those can be shared amongst multiple persons, so if you fear that it might take too much time please apply anyway so we can see whether we can work it out by distribution the work. Job #1: "App spotlight" page editor We'd like to provide some sort of platform to present cool applications available on crux. The idea is that a user suggest an app for 'spotlight', and the editor selects a new one every week (or less frequent, we'll have to see) and asks the submitted to write a quick summary for the wiki. This should be little work (basically reviewing the application, updating a wiki page to point to the user written summary) but could also be done by multiple persons. Job #2: bug triaging This job basically means reading new bug reports, assigning it to the right developer or asking for more information if a report is ambiguous. To do this job, three skills are needed: - familiarity with our development process - general knowledge about the software we're porting, i.e. when to ask for more information, which factors are relevant etc. - communication skills; you're acting as a "mediator" between the users and devs, and the way persons in this position behave has a big influence on the efficiency of the problem solving efforts Job #3: Wiki editors Help our primary wiki editor to improve the 'Main' section of our wiki, i.e. documentation changes, structural changes and so on. This job will require to work closely with the devs, to make sure the changes you do conform to the ideas of the project. As always, being known in our community certainly helps to be accepted for those positions, but in any case if you're interested and feel that you want to work together with us on this please feel to contact me either here, or directly to me (if you have further questions, please keep them on the list so the others benefit from the answers too). Thanks for your interest, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch
