(For now, Wayne and I will together occupy the second webmaster position,
as we are most proficient with the site's setup. In the future, a second
regular webmaster position may be solicited to replace Wayne and me.)
I think my time could be best used elsewhere, such as updating the
test suite. My skills at creating a well thought out/layed out
website is very limited, as those who have seen my personal website
have seen.
I am, however, quite willing to continue to sysadmin duties.
Brief regular
reports, either to the spf-council mailing list or at council meetings,
will have to be given.
Julian says "brief", and I would just like to emphasize this. It is
important to keep the SPF community informed about what is up, but I
do not want to see this become bureaucratic. To be quite honest, if
the webmasters post regularly to spf-discuss about things, that would
probably be good enough for me.
Requirements
------------
The webmaster must be willing to conduct their work as a delegate of the
council, as established by resolution #14[1]. About 5h/week will have to
be volunteered on average.
I think that initially, we will need far more than 5h/wk due to the
huge backlog of things that have built up over the last 6+ months of
inattention. If you can't do the initial work, but can do the
longterm stuff, please still volunteer. Likewise, if you can help
with the initial work, but can't commit to the long term stuff, that
would be very useful also.
The webmaster must be able to write in clear, concise, and mostly correct
English, and to develop and maintain a well-structured site topography.
I think one of the goals is to make the SPF website multi-lingual, so
people who can help translate the web pages is also important.
If you would like to take on the duties of the webmaster for the official
SPF website, please reply to this message publicly and comment on how well
you think you match the above requirements; please don't write long
essays, just quickly introduce yourself with regard to the above. You may
also nominate others.
I will volunteer to be a webmaster, but only if no one else steps
forward.
