I don't see it that way, not quite anyways. We currently have enough open
slots for that, but there will be a point where there will just be too many
cooks in the kitchen and managing who is doing what will be a hassle.
We're not there yet, but I see it happening. That's the kind of situation
where we have a nickel holding up a dollar. T13

alone. But if you collect enough pennies you have a dollar again. The
more people we recruit that can spare at least an hour the more that will
get done.

I think we need to admit that while the organisation and coordination of
the work is in every way as important as getting these essential tools back
up and running, unlike writing new articles for Wikipedia , time is not on
our side. I’m therefore rater hesitant with offers of help that due to
school can only inject one or two hours a week into the project. That’s
partly what got us into this mess in the first place.
I realise that not everyone is like me: over 65 , retired, and has time
on their hands, but I think we should be looking at a dedication of two or
three complete evenings a week until the job is done. Public holidays
should be providing more time rather than being a reason to take leave from
the urgency.
Also, addressing the advantages of video conferencing again, I am in
exactly the opposite time zone to the whole of the USA which means I often
have to chat in what is the middle of the night here in Thailand. I think
that’s also the least anyone should be prepared to do for multi-zone,
multi-cultural Wikipedia.

Hi,
I do understand and I would be okay with that as long as it is the
consensus of the group. I have created a new GitHub account @TaqPol-wiki as
I’d prefer to separate this account from the one I used for LxCenter and my
personal projects.
I’m glad that my limited availability is okay with you. I usually can
contribute more than that but the amount of work I have for university is
unpredictable so I don’t really want to make commitments that I cannot
meet.
Best wishes,
TaqPol

Looks good, but note we may not necessarily be using a framework, it seems
(getting conflicting recommendations), but certainly a templating engine of
sorts. We are open to all ideas, but would you be okay working with
something other than Laravel if it came down to it? Also, do you have a
GitHub account?
Thank you for also being upfront about your availability. It's all
volunteer work and even small contributions here and there are helpful and
appreciated.

*Subject:* [xTools] TaqPol - PHP Developer & Sysadmin
Hello,
I am writing in response to the call of developers for xTools on
Wikipedia.
I have previously been a Core member in the LxCenter team, which released
the open source web hosting control panel Kloxo and the VPS control panel
HyperVM. I work as both a PHP developer and a sysadmin there, as I also
find sponsorship on behalf of LxCenter and manages the sponsored server
although another developer manages the main web server etc.
I currently develop with Laravel, although for simpler application I use
packages from Packgist (e.g. Plates) and I personally think Laravel would
be the best way to go, considering the a MVC implementation is desirable
and it provides many useful functions e.g. an excellent ORM, code injection
interface and template engine.
I am afraid I don’t have 10-15 years of experience and I self-learnt PHP.
That being said, I am very willing to learn new stuffs. I am willing to
commit to the project. I generally respond to messages in 24 hours and can
commit for at least 2 hours per week during term time.
Best wishes,
TaqPol
