Re: TTD Site Savers Post Here! (small update)
Okay, unemployed me with no programming experience would be interested in being part of an admin team, depending on what that actually is... haha! I do have some time (although I don't always use it wisely haha) but no real experience but totally willing to learn to keep the place afloat if that's what it's gonna take!
I'm imagining some folks need to do day to day checking of new posts, deleting spam, etc. to oversee general behaviours and to police the site a bit, correct? And that's where we're having a problem to find help? Is that what I am hearing?
Like I say, I feel like a team of users could do those sorts of front-end duties, if that's the case. While programming and other code type things can be done by other folks that seem to have been found, right? It's the day to day admin duties that haven't got a replacement. I'm not sure if I can take ALL of that section over, and not even sure if one person should be in charge of site decisions that might affect everyone (more than closing altogether haha) - some things should be decided by a team, a vote, or something, depending on what hypothetical that could eventually be.
So, look - if the place is gonna die with nobody to steer the ship, put my name on a list to do it, but I feel like there should be more than one to do it together to make it keep working. I like the idea of a site upgrade update at some point, while maintaining the existing site until a new version can be achieved. I think if we all hurry up and get it together and put our heads together we can get something going before the final deadline. Let's do it, gang!
But, am I right? It's front end day to day site running stuff, clearing spambots, moderating stuff, that's in need of workers? Not programming the site, but operating the program? It's been asked before here: what is still needed for personnel to admin, and what would they really need to do? I think if that was clearer, it would help. What is an admin's job description, exactly? Can programming / coding not be a part of an admin's job to be successful?
