Help Wanted: Writer

permanent link · Topic/General
/General

I've found in the past that a good way to find somebody to hire for a particular task is to write something on my weblog. Apparently the five readers here are very well-connected, because it has been quite fruitful in the past.

This time, I'm writing because we're looking for somebody who can help with the daunting task of documentation writing, as a contractor. It's not glamourous work, but it's clear that Sandvox is going to need some major documentation. There are so many features that even I forget all of what it can do!

So we are looking for somebody who:

  • ...can quickly, fluently write in English
  • ...has good writing organizational skills
  • ...is a Mac User, Tiger specifically, to be able to run Sandvox
  • ...is not afraid to ask questions to dig into the how and why of the program
  • ...can work in the WikiMedia environment (e.g. can format text like this)
  • ...is willing to explore and document every avenue of Sandvox
  • ...is available starting now, full-time or part-time

If this is you, or somebody you know, please reply to me (dwood, at the domain name here or karelia-d0t-com) with rates and samples.
