Subject:  [VOICENWS] Net: VOICE Newsletter: Associate Editor wanted

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

From: Christian Hennecke <editorDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org.>

The VOICE Newsletter is looking for a new Associate Editor.

Over the last year, vocational and personal issues have reduced the time 
that our Editor-in-Chief could donate
to the VOICE Newsletter to a considerable extent several times. The rest of 
the editorial staff has already
been short on spare-time for a longer while. Since contact with authors and 
the first preparation of articles has
almost exclusively been handled by him and nobody else is able to build the 
final issue, issues have been
delayed -- in case of the latest issue by two months. This situation needs 
to be improved.

We are looking for a new Associate Editor who can help with the 
communication with authors, preparation of
articles, and coordination of the team on a regular basis, and who builds 
an issue in case the Editor-in-Chief is
not available.

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 articles aren't written by native 
speakers, proof-reading and
editing is required.

* XHTML/CSS skills: Knowledge of which tags there are and what a CSS class 
is appropriate.

* Basic OS/2 and REXX knowledge: You should be able to run programs via the 
command line and adapt
existing REXX scripts to your system.

The job consists of:

* Encouraging people to write articles if, e.g., you see interesting 
messages in OS/2 resources.

* Review of submitted articles, communication with authors regarding 
content, phrasing, and bylines.

* Formatting articles according to our author guidelines.

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

* Building the final version of the VOICE Newsletter issue if other editors 
are not available. Compared to former
times, the build process has been largely automated and become a lot 
easier. We would like to switch to
using a CMS but due to time constraints that is not an option at the moment.

If you are interested, please contact us at editorDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org.
