Dear readers,

Our Tips Editor WD Loughman has informed me that due to changes of
vocational and personal nature,  he won't be able to spend as much time as
usual on compiling the Newsletter's Tips page any more.

As a result, we are searching for a person who is willing to assist him in
his work.

The requirements for the position are as follows:

- Persistence: You need to be able to commit yourself to the job for a
longer period. There is no use in us  breaking in someone who's going to
leave again two months later.

- Reliability: We have to be able to rely on you getting your work done,
and done correctly, before certain  deadlines. There always is the
possibility of things getting in the way - in that case, we need to be
sure that  you tell us about it in time.

- Ability to work in a team

- Grammar/spelling knowledge: As many tips do not come from native
speakers, proof-reading and editing is  required.

- Information resources: You should be subscribed to at least a few of
OS/2-related mailing lists or news  groups, and scan these for interesting
information on a regular basis.

The following is desirable but not required:

- XHTML/CSS skills: Knowledge of which tags there are and what a CSS class
is would be helpful.

Your job will consists of:

- Scanning information resources for potential tips.

- Assembling tips that come from above resources or have been submitted
directly to VOICE. This includes  addition of introductory lines.

- Proof-reading including corrections of awkward phrasing as well as bad
grammar and spelling.

- Formatting the tips page according to our author guidelines.

- Possibly giving advise to the translation team, e.g., regarding idioms
and proverbs.
