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 the live site is (to my understanding) under SVN.

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 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.
