Hi all,
I am happy to have two things to announce.
1/ The payment method has been finalised. In short, it will be via Paypal. This means if you participate, you should have a Paypal account. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project/Payment#Specifics
2/ The image requests will be organised through JIRA, the issue-tracking system on the toolserver. There is project called 'PGIP' where they will appear. https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/PGIP
You will need to create an account on JIRA, to be able to pick up requests to work on.
Using JIRA lets us easily arrange new (unfulfilled) requests, filled-but-not-completed requests, requests awaiting review, reviewed requests awaiting payment, and finally completed requests.
There are some "issues" there now ("Illustrations") which all have names like "test 5", "test 6". I encourage folks to
a) create an account on JIRA b) play around with the test issues - e.g. by assigning one to yourself, add comments etc.
JIRA should be fairly multilingual, please let me know if you have trouble setting your language preference.
What's next: finalising the request list, and then we hop to it!
cheers, Brianna
