Wordpress Workgroup Intern

A place to start laying out the loose requirements for a new workgroup intern.

The important tech things that come to mind are:

• Basic working knowledge of PHP
• Solid understanding of html/css
  • And how they work when generated by PHP.
• Decent knowledge of Wordpress
  • Have at spent some time looking at the plethora of WP plugins, and be somewhat familiar with what's available.
  • Have a decent understanding of WP theming
  • WP is very well documented, and intern must be willing to search heartily for keys to solutions
• Basic knowledge of server admin.
  • At least enough to use ssh, and be comfortable with file management.
• Have used some flavor of version control, and be willing to try/learn others if needed.
  • The development site is currently under Git, and will (hopefully) stay under some form of version control.

Outside of that they probably should:

• Be ready and willing to work in the sometimes hectic and seemingly disorganized organized of Free Geek.
  • And, be able to do this without freaking out.
• Be willing to remain extremely communicative with Tony and other PR people, and possibly Michael.
  • Even if they feel like they might freak out.
• Stay motivated, and come up with creative solutions to the needs of PR, or others at Free Geek.
  • This will help prevent freaking out.
