Re: [OGDev] open guides development

I think your best bet is probably to advertise the job on http://jobs.perl.org/ - I can also post a brief note to the London perlmongers list if you like; there are several overseas members of the list and I'm sure someone would be able to pass the information on to a suitable mailing list more local to you. I think that in terms of the OpenGuides component you're probably looking for someone who's competent in OO Perl, automated testing, JavaScript, Template Toolkit, SQL, and database administration - assuming, that is, you'll be using the same person for maintenance as for development. Let me know if you want any help in fleshing out the requirements a bit more. It's quite possible that there would be a need for some enhancements to OpenGuides itself in order for your programmer to be able to do what you want. We're generally quite open to that sort of thing, especially if we don't have to do the work ourselves, though the final say lies with Dominic Hargreaves, the release manager. (OpenGuides has an extensive test suite, and any new additions would need to come along with their own tests, hence my inclusion of that issue in the previous paragraph.) Anyway, it all sounds good. I'd be tempted to offer to do it myself, but I just wouldn't have the time on top of my day job. Kake
