Hi, I'm thinking it would be a good time to start being much more proactive in the recruitment process - we now have a concept that people understand, and we could really use additional hands. But, as always, it would require a lot of efforts to reach the right people.
So I'm thinking of making that my main focus for the month of March - to try to convince people to join us. Of course, those things take time, so it's very likely that it will take a few months to really give its fruits - but in one month there is time to do a lot of ground work already. But I'll need help! I've listed all the areas of the project below where we could benefit from help. So if you know anyone good, or anyone who may know someone good, please let me know. I've also listed examples of tasks that we could try to give - it's not necessarily the final work, just a starting point to get a feel of the person. = Project management ==================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Review of iterations: completion, QA & unit tests * Update & follow-up on roadmap * HR: counting days worked & ensuring proper payment * Org of events, conventions & trips = Sysadmin ================================= Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Updates of tools & OS * Backup (setup and maintenance) * Solving issues (like phpunit) * Monitoring (disk space, etc.) = Games & Web devs ========================= Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Minigames * PHP backend * Interface/CSS/JS = Game design ============================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Write missions (text or PHP) * Refine concept based on player feedback * Improving the existing game design based on "The Art of GD" = Storytelling =============================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Improve the storytelling of an existing mission * Write a concept of storyline based on the "secret agent" concept = Webmastering & wiki ======================= Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Improving buddypress * Organizing the wiki = Art direction & design =========================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Website * Game interface = Community Management ======================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Blog & Facebook * Writing to players * Contacting communities * KPIs = Recruitment ==================================== Example of "test" tasks (to adapt to the person's profile) * Head hunting for any of the categories above Xavier.
