We could use several people - but there's very little money to pay them, so volunteers are always hugely appreciated for particular jobs.
A real whiz in the right area might get paid if necessary for something special. A part timer who's good and wants to work really cheap would be great!
Mostly I do it, or Jeff does the really seriously tech stuff, and yes he gets paid. I have a very part time assistant who does some basic routine stuff cheap, and Susan helps a lot with organisation, editing the ezine, the accounting, meetings and much more in her spare time. We average 60-70 hours a week each, and we're so far behind it's depressing - good news is we're getting there! Progress is visible!
What we need is any of:
1. good computer knowledge / internet experience with html skills and excellent English writing skills, best onsite in London, but others useful too.
2. Drupal experience
3. PHP / MySQL skills
4. One thing we'd like to do (many requests) that could be done by anyone with spare time and decent computer skills is create "e-books" - a compilation of everything on say XT's, or Thailand, or Argentina, and put into a pdf and sold for say $5-10. Someone has to do the compilation, and we'd be happy to share the proceeds. Not everyone wants to do all the work - or has the time or skills - of searching for it, and a $5-10 pdf would be great!
On another area, we're planning to do two or three DVD's this year but we need people to help.
1. Video - movie type skills - paid. (for a new DVD)
2. Sound - as above
The site has grown enormously, now pushing 30,000 pages, and lots of conversion work from old static pages to new dynamic pages to do, and the meetings are growing and so is all of it - fantastic, we're tickled pink, but it's a lot to do with a small income, so it's slower than we'd like.
There's always stuff to do, so if you're interested anywhere please let me know.
We greatly appreciate all the fantastic information you've all put in over the years, it's helped a whole new bunch of travellers get on the road and have fantastic trips, meet a lot of new people, and make great friends.
Thanks!
Grant and Susan
