Edit: thank you to those who commented. Per the below, all phase 2 candidates have now been contacted.
I need to hire a tech person to help with this website. I tried to do a general web search but the results were corporate and discouraging.
What I’m specifically looking for is:
- a more functional way to organize ongoing projects (including documents to be uploaded)
- better user navigation (including an easier, less annoying way to subscribe)
- better networking with people I think are cool / people who might be interested in reading on these topics
- other random ideas that I don’t want to discuss publicly, one of which involves research and math programming
I’m not opposed to some other expert advice, but know now that I hate both endless scroll and unnecessary clicks. Also relevant: I am much more comfortable with people who have experienced at least one type of marginalization. Also: I’m in Canada et j’invite les francophones à postuler mais pour la plupart je préfère m’exprimer en anglais. Also: my ideal working arrangement would be largely in writing with occasional phone calls.
I don’t really know how to go about this, but if this sounds of interest to you, please leave a comment, which I don’t intend to approve to publish, it’s just I haven’t set up an email address yet. (Add that to the list.)
It would be helpful if your comment included a bit about you, including URLs to examples of your work that can be browsed without logging in.
My plan, once I did some browsing, would be to contact some number of people to get some sense of what they think would be involved. I don’t want to create great quantities of work for people, but I would appreciate a degree of jargon-less specificity.
After that, TBD, but I want to be as clear and as fair as I possibly can be. Because I have some role modelling to do, apparently.
