| schestowitz | Hi, | May 09 07:37 |
| schestowitz | Sorry for the late replies. | May 09 07:37 |
| schestowitz | I am speaking with an associate now to see what might best suit your skills. We have some ideas but discuss between us, based on your experience. | May 09 07:37 |
| schestowitz | >> How good are they at web stuff? Or how much experience have they got? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > Is there a portfolio available? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | Not that I was told about... | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | Notice "GitHub" was mentioned... already a sign that software freedom/activism is weak. | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> What if they come up with something they fancy but we have to reject? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > That's why the work should aimed at upstream anyway. | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | Makes sense. | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> How would they feel? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> What might they say? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> Giving them a reduced and safe copy of the CMS (no users etc.) to play | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> with an option? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > It is an option if it fits in with something else already planned. I | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > presume some practice on our end will be needed for the migration from | May 09 08:20 |

| schestowitz | > a RPi would cost time and entail some risk. | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | I wasn't even thinking in that direction... | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | But setting up a 'sandbox' too would be time-consuming with no assurance of any yield. | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> Or... how about getting them involved in IRC log posts? Or enhancing the | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> IRC logs someone? | May 09 08:20 |
| schestowitz | >> | May 09 08:21 |

| schestowitz | >> capacity. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | >> | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | >> Regarding coding, any programs that might improve the workflow? Or | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | >> refinement of existing programs? | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > Again, I'm not thinking towards direct interactive sessions within the | May 09 08:21 |

| schestowitz | > to an internship. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | Do we want changes to WP? It would be hard to have that accepted. The theme? It seems clear coding is his goal, not writing. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > I'm not into Wordpress enough to say anything specific. What about | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > those mock ups that several made a few years ago? Would it be feasible | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > to use them as models to trim down a theme in Wordpress, refactoring the | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > HTML classes and CSS while removing the Javascript? Wordpress | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | > components are in a dire need of refactoring. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | That might 'break' lots of old posts, so I am reluctant. We already did a lot of work on IRC layouts and stuff... | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | Giving an intern 'robotic' work would not be rewarding and thus not long-lasting. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | What if we set up a new container on the HV for git alone and ask him to 'garden' it a bit, then add his own code to it? Setup is done quickly, but adding repos is another thing. Can give git experience without GH. | May 09 08:21 |
| schestowitz | Or we can ask him to install and then maintain a gitlab instance for us, if we have enough IP addresses left to make it Net-facing.... | May 09 08:22 |

| schestowitz | Does not seem the person has Wordpress experience. | May 09 08:32 |
| schestowitz | My experience coaching a CS-studying youngster a decade ago with Wordpress wasn't positive. | May 09 08:32 |
| schestowitz | If they don't know Wordpress, then they don't know Wordpress... and you end up spending all the time just teaching the whole thing. | May 09 08:32 |
| schestowitz | Maybe research into making a static mirror of TR? | May 09 08:32 |
| schestowitz | Or automating IRC posts? | May 09 08:32 |
| schestowitz | What problems are we looking to solve? | May 09 08:32 |

| schestowitz | I suppose we could set git.DOMAIN on another port, listening and directing traffic to an internal IP with the main domain (.20) as access point. The setup would be above the intern's skill level, but maybe not 'gardening' gitlab. | May 09 08:37 |
| schestowitz | The term gardening may be seemingly offensive to those who don't grasp its meaning in the computing context. | May 09 08:37 |
| schestowitz | Once git is there the projects we have can be made public (backups, links and so on), then he can add his own projects. Ones that are customed to help the site/campaigns.... | May 09 08:37 |
| schestowitz | I spent 2 hours on email this morning; it's one of those things I wished I could do without, in favour of doing more articles (I never lack articles ideas and still have Windows-in-hospitals material). | May 09 08:37 |
