== Отворени послови на GRASS пројекту==


The growing infrastructure and extended user support requires more efforts to integrate user contributions and to keep things running. This page contains a list of jobs for which we seek volunteers. These jobs descriptions may appear a bit formal, but shall illustrate the needs.
=== Волонтери на веб сајту (отворено) ===
Several Web site contributors are desired to update pages and to improve the current structure. A future goal could be the move to a CMS system such as Drupal which would be a major effort. Wolf Bergenheim is currently working on the preparation of a OSGeo based Drupal server for GRASS.
Skills:
* knowledge of standard HTML (a single PHP function is used to construct menus)
* willingness to use plain text editors to write pages (to avoid that HTML cruft creeps in)
* familiarity (or willingness to learn use) with GRASS Web site CVS (see [[Working with CVS|instructions]])
* no programming skills required
Tasks:
* update outdated pages
* think about and implement "user stories" to make site more attractive
* think about and implement translation of important pages
* simplify structure
* add new screenshots with credits/CC license)
* regularly check if mirror sites work
Estimated workload:
* in average: 1-x h per week
Contact: Markus Neteler

'''''NEWS: Kindly accepted by Malte Halbey-Martin'''''
Despite the continuous growth of the user community, we seek "GRASS GIS awareness" especially for public administration and companies. A multi-language brochure is needed to promote GRASS in a more effective way. Funding for a high quality print is to be defined.
Skills:
* communication and design skills
Tasks:
* find like-minded people to form a GRASS promotion group
* communicate the existence of the GRASS project
* design of a multi-language brochure (both PDF and printed) in collaboration with the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=VisCom OSGeo-VisCom team]
* create material to illustrate the GRASS functionality
* contact public administration and professionals in a non-spammy way
* collect success stories and render them usable for the Web site
== Заинтересовани ==
While we have to figure out the process, here a list of interested people. Please add yourself:
* Dylan Beaudette: Web site contributor (familiar with Drupal CMS)
* Scott Mitchell: Web site contributor, could possibly do the translation job, if nobody with translation tool experience volunteers
* Brad Douglas: Public Relations contributor (co-maintainer)
