Subject:  [VOICENWS] Mag: VOICE Newsletter: Tips Editor Wanted

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Christian Hennecke <christian.henneckeDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org>

Our Tips Editor, William D Loughman, has informed us that due to changes of 
personal nature he has to retire from his position as Tips Editor for the 
VOICE Newsletter. We express our sincere thanks for his work, and we are 
certainly going to miss YKE's comments.

We are searching for a person to take over Bill's position.

The requirements for the position are as follows:

* Persistence: We need a commitment to the job for a longer period. There 
is no use in training someone
who's going to leave again two months later.

* Reliability: We rely on you getting your work done, and done correctly, 
before certain deadlines. Of course,
there always is the possibility of things getting in the way--in such cases 
tell us about it in a timely manner.

* Grammar and 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 the 
OS/2-related mailing lists or
newsgroups, 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 appropriate.

The job consists of:

* Scanning information resources for potential tips.

* Assembling tips that come from above resources or have been submitted 
directly to VOICE. This includes a
short introduction for each tip.

* Proof-reading including corrections of awkward phrasing as well as bad 
grammar and spelling. Our
proof-readers do edit the Tips page, too, but they shouldn't have to 
completely rephrase things.

* Formatting the Tips page according to our author guidelines.

* Possibly giving advise to the translation team, e.g., regarding idioms 
and jargon.
