I need help to keep some sites updated please

[Torsten]

SAB is hosting a few sites such as Benjamin Thomas' PNG project and the Claude Rifat memorial site, both of which rely on myself doing all the work. Sadly I just don't find the time (I can barely keep the SAB site in shape) and these sites are really suffering. I have something like a dozen new articles for the PNG site which are just waiting to me html-ised, but I've had them for up to 18 months and simply don't get around to it.

So, if anyone here has some minimal html skills (no fancy design needed), I would love to make them curator of one of these sites. Given that these hosted sites receive a surprisingly huge amount of traffic it is a real waste that they are not in better shape.

I would like to start with the PNG site asap and would like either one individual who has enough time and motivation, or a team who can work together effectively. Please keep in mind that the WIKI project is starting in the next few days too, so those who will be deeply involved in that should probably not apply for these hosted sites.

A good grasp of spelling and some basic html skills are the only pre-requisites for the job. Familiarity with scientific article conventions would be a bonus, but I can always help out with that if needed.

Well ive got two years of free time, fairly good html, but for spelling id use a spell checker. after a year fulltime in an ED on dogwatch only the gov put me on disability penson for the next two years.

ill volunteer my motivation and time. i dont want to see any of these sites fall.

give us a year or so & i may have loads ov time.

how hard is html to learn?

[Amulte]

html is too easy. compaired to other methods it a cake man. and most software will turn anything to html. but it does help to know some because mostly it will stuff up, on line of code wrong will reveal the whole code across the page. so knowing some does help, but its not that hard at all. just takes time and time. :D
