<h1>TLDP Job Descriptions</h1>
<p>The purpose of this document is to formally record the various
volunteer positions that exist within The Linux Documentation Project
(TLDP) as it is presently structured.</p>
<p>The following job descriptions have been created so far.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="author.html">Author</a></li>
<li><a href="chief-coordinator.html">Chief coordinator</a></li>
<li><a href="doc-publisher.html">Document Publisher</a></li>
<li><a href="reviewer.html">Document Reviewer</a></li>
<li><a href="mirror-maintainer.html">Mirror Maintainer</a></li>
<li><a href="news-contributor.html">News Contributor</a></li>
<li><a href="news-editor.html">News Editor</a></li>
<li><a href="review-coordinator.html">Review coordinator</a></li>
<li><a href="tech-contributor.html">Technical Contributor</a></li>
<li><a href="webmaster.html">Webmaster</a></li>
</ul>
<p>These are job descriptions in progress.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="i18n-coordinator.html">i18n coordinator</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The following position has been proposed by several people on the
mailing list, but is on hold until the original set of job descriptions is
created.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="pr-specialist.html">Public Relations Specialist</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a work in progress. Exclusion of a particular job description
does not suggest that the position is not valid or necessary. Conversely,
the inclusion of a job description in this document should not be seen as
an endorsement of the necessity or validity of that position.</p>
<h2>Job Description Template</h2>
<p>The following template can be used to describe a position in almost any
volunteer organization and serves as the basis for documenting the TLDP
job descriptions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Position Title</li>
<li>Purpose of the position - how does it contribute to the
organization's mission?</li>
<li>Responsibilities - list of three to seven major tasks expected to be
performed.</li>
<li>Commitment - how much time, is it flexible, short or long term?</li>
<li>Qualifications - skills, education required.</li>
<li>Supervisor / Direct reports - who manages this position, who reports
to this person?</li>
<li>Training / Mentoring - what kind of orientation assistance does the
volunteer receive?</li>
<li>Policies Affecting Assignment - confidentiality, background checks,
if any.</li>
<li>Benefits of the position - what does the volunteer gain from
volunteering?</li>
</ul>
<h2>Method For Documenting Job Descriptions</h2>
<p>The primary method of determining positions at TLDP is by collecting
information from the TLDP volunteer list. The volunteer list information
is then expanded and clarified by interviewing, via email, those persons
currently holding positions within TLDP. Information is fit into the
template.</p>
<p>Additional job descriptions not on the volunteer list will be addressed
in a second round of information collection.</p>
