Wanted - People with Technical Knowledge [ntli.info]

[Frank]

Everyone must have seen our thread about ntli.info by now.

We're now ready to recruit some people to help make ntli.info a useful source of information.

We need...

1. Category Managers - people with technical knowledge and a responsible attitude to oversee one or more categories.
2. Authors/Editors - people to write articles to help others.

Anyone who feels that they would like to write some articles to add to the site is very welcome to join our editor's mailing list. You should also post in this thread and tell us...

1. The e-mail address you are signing up from (your mailing list join request will not be accepted unless we see your e-mail in this thread).
2. What categories you are likely to write articles for (doesn't have to be set in stone )
3. A brief description of your experience/level of knowledge and in what areas (to help us - not as an assessment of you).

We are also looking for Category Managers. These people will oversee one or more Categories and be responsible for checking the quality of the articles and correcting any mistakes they may notice. If you feel you would like to help us out here, then please post below a summary of your experience in relation to which categories you would like to manage. Alternatively, if you do want to make this information public, then you can use the contact us form

Thanks to all those who have already joined up to the editors list after the RFC.

The Categories are:

hm throws his hat in

email - mark dot jones-lunn at ntlworld dot com

Chosen subjects - Networking (wired/wireless), Broadband, Narrowband, Digital TV (Langley), Analogue TV and Telco.

Other subjects - Email, specifically OE, Internet (general), ADSL, NTL installation (whats used and where), NTL network.

Personally I think this site could also use a Glossary of terms, We dont want to go scaring people with TCP/IP and HFC now do we

Perhaps I could just help by making the Brews

And your starter for 10 points is...

Seriously though I'd like to volenteer to write stuff for the billing section (industry related not NTL specific) from two years worth of supporting a billing software for many customers.

I'd be happy to help out with the glossary (i.e. coordination of)

scarlett.

... I'll help with the glossary too HM.

I'm sure there are other categories that can be added ....

As for the Category Manager thing, is this to be on a trial basis first, if so put me forward. Love to do it, but need to gauge others knowledge too
