wiki libary technician / LegiSlates
LegiSlates/nationwide
LegiSlates (www.legi-slates.org) is a newly-founded not-for-profit wiki for collaborative development and advance-publication of working papers on law and policy. Unbelievably, no such thing exists. There are places (like SSRN) where one can post a working paper, but no centralized place for actually working on one.
The Journal of Law and Policy Advances will be an electronically-circulated journal of excellent peer-reviewed articles emerging from LegiSlates.
We need someone to help set up the semantic-wiki aspect of the site, so that there can be a database of subject/author/title/topic/keywords and an article-intake form for new articles. The necessary extensions for the MediaWiki software running on the site are freely available. (They are "Semantic MediaWiki" and the "semantic forms" and "halo" extensions that go with it ) We just need someone to install them and get new-article intake form set up.
This is a volunteer gig, but one that offers a great resume item for a limited amount of effort. You'll be helping forge the future of law and legal scholarship through two newly-founded endeavors. You shall receive undying gratitude from the editors (who are also volunteer) and an appropriate title of your choosing. (Site Developer? Library Tech Guru?) If you have any questions, please email or call John Ginsberg at 202-841-0811. Thank you!
