Help Wanted

I have a couple new projects that I don't want to announce before they get off the ground but would like to get some help with. Asking for help has never been easy for me and trying to attract people to "spotlight" projects (like writing) has met with mixed success. I'm not sure if this method is public enough to reach all the people who might be interested or provides enough context to be appealing to who I'd like to reach but I will give it a try...

The first project involves reference, using Content Management Software (with the benefit of having experience with CMSs), and working with a small group of people building a large anarchist website. Ideally I would like to build a team of people who share a broad anarchist vision (anarchist without adjectives), who have some experience working with distributed groups, and who are comfortable with web-based Internet technologies. The hope is that a group of about a half-dozen people will participate in this project and they can be trained if they are interested.

Science!

The second project is going to be a bit harder to find people for. I am in the beginning stages of trying to build a "new" technology collective that is involved in supporting anarchist (and other anti-authoritarian) projects. Ideally it would include at least a half a dozen people with strong Unix skills and experience (and opinions) with the LAMP and LAPP stack, Postfix (ClamAV, SpamAssassin, etc), Xen, and server management technologies. Additionally it would include a couple of people with experience with popular PHP applications (support, installation, and maintenance), HTML, Python, etc.

If either of these projects seem interesting to you at all drop me an email at aragorn at anarchymag.org. I'll respond on this thread if there are any general questions.
