Submission Wizard now supports Firefox [modified]
-
I'm happy to announce that the submission wizard now supports Firefox (with it's snazzy little spell checking feature in v2.0) It's also a little more saner, with uploads being uploaded before the article text so you can preview the images and see exactly where your zips are stored. The HTML editing engine is a hacked version of HTMLArea 3.0, a sadly discontinued project, which does a far better job of cleaning HTML that has been pasted from horrible sources (I'm looking at you, MS Word). However, there are a few things about it I'm not entirely happy with so all bug reports, feature additions and quirks should go to me (chris@codeproject). Syntax colourising (or colorizing, depending on your disposition) is still sub-par so please bare hamster:badger: bear with us for a bit and I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to fully fix it. Speaking of workloads, does anyone know of someone who lives in the Toronto area who enjoys editing and posting articles? We're getting desperate... -- modified at 5:14 Thursday 1st February, 2007

Nope... but you might want to consider having someone outside of Toronto do it instead, if that's feasible. I would love to have that job, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

C:cool::cool:L. This only means one thing for me. I need to set a due date for my next codeproject article to post! This is the only way to see what the heck you are talking about.:) I might do a colaborative project too, maybe after two months when I don't have to give my free time to University work.

You do realize the irony of this statement don't you? A web site populated by and accessible by people all over the world and you want someone who lives in Toronto? That's just bizarre on so many levels. :)

It's just so much nicer yelling at someone in person than having to do it via IM. I'm just old fashioned like that ;)

After the web launched an outsourcing trend that slashed and burned its way through the industry, it's kinda nice to see someone with a "locals only" frame of mind. Since the down side to outsourcing is often so subtle, and tends to become more obvious in the long term rather than the short term, I'd love to see some position papers from people who have had legitimate reasons for hiring locally rather than hiring remotely.

This is industry specific and I don't have time to write a paper on the subject, but foreigners can't have US security clearances so almost all defense work is non outsourcable.

Well, I'm in Pickering and despite not having had professional experience as an editor, I've done that sort of thing before... How big of a workload is it?

Is that extremely important? I know some who may be willing to work remotely.
Yah, CP would definatly get more applications if you just say anywhere. It shouldn't be too importiant, with telephones and email for communication, and VPNs for access, it couldn't be too hard.

It's a full time job. It's not hard, you just need to be very, very picky. Email marcela@codeproject if you're interested. At the very least she'll give you a tour of the office ;)

You can't slap someone upside the head via netmeeting. Seriously, though: outsourcing simple, easily broken off tasks that require no supervision can be an excellent solution when you simply cannot find someone to fill a role. For anything else, though, having that "I'm part of something bigger" knowledge is insanely valuable to a group working together. The hardest part of a job isn't the job, it's the people. Make communication fast and simple and effective and everything else becomes easier.

You're preaching to the choir on that one. I've been writing about that for years, and techies still think it's all about the code. :rolleyes:
