Updating the EQ site was never part of my job, actually, so you could say that I've been doing this work for free as well. My current job titles include EQ2 Content Manager and Managing Editor of ZAM. Regardless, I'm simply looking for others to pitch in on my own.

Thanks! To answer some frequent questions so far:

  • This is a volunteer gig. I can't hire you.
  • The right people to do this are ones who are doing it simply out of their love of the game and the EQ community.
  • It does not require any development knowledge as it's not a development environment. Think of it more like data entry.
  • This does require attention to detail and patience. They are neither the prettiest nor the easiest tools to work with, and chances are, you will ***** up at least once.
  • It also requires you to learn our news CMS to post the updates. Not too tough, but it's an older system.
  • You'll only be able to update existing database entries. I'll explain this better to those who commit.
  • I will be providing tutorials, likely using Trello. This means you'll need to be willing to share an email address with me.
  • You may need to coordinate with other volunteers so you're not stepping on each others' toes. Can also be done via Trello, or we can setup a Skype chat group.
  • Via Trello (or Skype) you can stay in contact with me even after I'm laid off in case you have questions or concerns. I'll always be happy to help.
