Project:Volunteer

Please help this project by volunteering. See also other ways to help this project.

If you want to become a volunteer, write porton@narod.ru. (However if you want to become an editor or a translator, just create an account and start to do the work yourself, this does not need to write me.)

We need the following kinds of volunteers:

Hebrew Bible translators

It is much easier that you may think. Just learn ancient Hebrew without vowels. Without vowels it is way easier.

Bible is big and so we need many translators. Your help is invaluable.

More information at this page.

Moderators

Moderators screen edits by site users and either allows a change or rejects SPAM or vandalism.

Also a moderator forces users to follow the rules and corrects wrong behavior of other users.

When a user earns a good reputation of writing quality content at this site, he or she may be promoted to the right to edit the site directly (without moderation).

It is an easy but important job.

Editors and writers

Edit the content of this site. Make it better (more readable, of better design, etc.) Help to develop rules which users should follow.

Board members

Become board members of our non-profit organization.

Web administrator

Currently, I am serving this service myself. However in the case if I die or am sick or whatever happens, my organization needs a deputy.

Your tasks are:

1. Manage the Web server.

2. Update MediaWiki software on the server when new versions of this software appear. To do this you need to have basic knowledge of Linux. If you want to volunteer but don't know Linux, I can teach you basics of Linux. (So with this job, you may get some Linux training for free!) Alternatively we can move to a managed hosting and pay for the work instead doing it yourself. (In this case it may cost around $130/month or so instead of $30/month.)

I remind that I do this position now myself. You need just to back after me, for the case if for whatever reason I would be unable to do this work myself.

Manager

Currently I do this work myself. However in the case if I die or am sick or whatever happens, my organization needs a deputy.

The work of the manager is:

• collect donations
• pay for Web hosting (currently around $24/month) and the domain
• manage our AdWords account (see also here) and our Google Analytics account
• if there is enough money, advertise this site (as to submit it into Web directories, make press-releases, etc.)
