FLORA Community WEB needs YOU

A wide variety of volunteers are needed. If you have most of the skills required, but are not familiar with the technology, please contact us as we can provide training for our volunteers.

Discussion Group Managers

While most discussion groups on FLORA are not moderated, they do require dedicated individuals to coordinate the discussion group. This person or group of people try to keep the discussion group on topic and interesting. If a group is Email based (Mailinglists) then this person will need to filter out bad subscriptions to the list.

Graphic Artists

FLORA makes use of a number of mediums, such as WWW, where graphics can be used to aid in navigation and in presentation of information. The better the visual appearance of information, the more people will view it and benefit from the information contained within it.

Writers

A fair bit of information, both technical and non-technical exists on the server. Often a good writer is needed to try to take the raw information that is made available from a community organization and present this information in a form easily read and understood in the electronic medium. FLORA itself has information that it wishes to publish, including documentation on how to make use of the services of FLORA.

Trainers

Certain electronic publishing and communications skills are required both by other volunteers, and by the users of the FLORA services. Individuals with the ability to convey these skills to others will be greatly appreciated in documentation writing, in one-on-one training sessions as well as in a classroom.

Volunteer Coordination

Someone will be needed that knows how to understand the unique skills of a given volunteer and present them with appropriate volunteer options to best make use of those skills, while keeping the volunteer interested in that project.

Events Coordination

All work and no play makes for unhappy people *smile*. We will need people willing to organize events where we can all get out and see each other.

Fund-raising

While the hardware for FLORA is independently owned, these services cannot be completely supported by the owner. Sponsors and other support will be needed, and we will need people who are familiar with trying to obtain this support.

Software Evaluators

We are working with a wide variety of different computer systems being used for authoring and viewing of information, as well as participating in discussion groups. In order to try to make sense of all of the different tools available, software evaluators will be needed to give their opinions and recommendations for various tools on various computing platforms.

UNIX Software Configuration/Authoring/Testing

People interested in the more technical aspects of FLORA are invited to get involved with the FLORA Community WEB server project.
