<br>
Scenario: Imagine a small non-profit working to keep its web site<br>
updated - HTML generated by Dreamweaver, not Drupal, not too many<br>
pages. Like a lot of groups I know they struggle with keeping it<br>
updated. A couple options:<br>
<br>
(1) Someone updates the pages about once a month<br>
(2) Move to a system like Wordpress, Drupal, etc. where they can log<br>
in and update pages themselves; have someone else maintain the<br>
underlying machinery, themes, etc. when needed<br>
<br>
In either case, if the group needs someone not in-house to do this --<br>
how do they best find someone, and how do they set it up right? For<br>
(1) for instance, could a group just Craiglist someone, offer a decent<br>
rate (I don't know what that would be), and sign a contract? For (2),<br>
how do they find someone?<br>
<br>
Right now I see a lot of groups relying on volunteers or random<br>
connects, and then they struggle getting the person to actually follow<br>
through. I'm helping some groups fill that gap myself, but I also want<br>
to give them advice how they can find other people in general.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Peace, community, justice,<br>
- George<br>
