The Archiver, as I'm sure many here know, is a monthly PDF news and resource publication produced by The Cavern Today. We are currently looking to increase the size of the staff working on the project for several reasons, and are thus putting out an open call to the community to help out.

Reporters will need to have a basic command of the English language, as that is the publication's primary target (and because I only speak English myself ). You will also need to be able to work under a deadline, which ideally will be two to three weeks, but in a pinch, could be as short as a couple of days, depending on how Cavern events stack up against the publication schedule.

Ideally, those interested would be able to help gather reports from In-Cavern, attending events, interviewing other attendees during or after the fact, and generally keeping their finger on the pulse of the Cavern. Those who would like to report on goings-on in the community at large (say, on other forums, for instance) are also welcome to join the staff; The Archiver is designed to cover more than just Uru Live, though obviously that is a very large part of what goes on in the community these days.

Photographers should ideally be able to run Uru at a decent resolution (1024x768), with at least minimal anti-aliasing enabled. While inset photographs may be less strict on this requirement, anything that will be full-page in size needs to be fairly large to maintain visual quality.

We are also looking for anybody who is willing to translate The Archiver into other languages. I'd like to at least get French and German translations back, but I would also welcome a Dutch translation team, as well as anyone else who would be willing to translate the content of The Archiver into their native language.

If you are interested in joining The Archiver's staff, please post in this topic of The Cavern Today's forum so that we can add you to the team ASAP.

Thank you .

As Narym said, registration on the TCT forums is needed because that's where we do all of the organization and planning for each issue of The Archiver. We also make use of a Wiki for content development, which you'll need to register for; Once you've been added to the Archiver team group, you'll have access to the planning forums, and there will be instructions posted there for how to sign up for that.

I do apologize for making the whole registration thing required, but it's the only way to be able to keep in contact with everyone .

Also, Maratanos, I noticed that you did post in the thread; if you're still having login/registration problems, let me know, and I'll pass it along. I'm not actually in charge of the forum there, so anything problematic needs to be passed on to Miles or Anthony. I do try and keep things bureaucracy-free, but it creeps in at times simply because of how distributed this project and The Cavern Today are. Virtual offices are like herding cats .

Er... I'd be interested in the photography part too, but I'm not sure if my images are up to par... I use Hypersnap 6 to take screenshots, but my graphics card isn't as good as many of the folks who came forward on the TCT site....

I just uploaded a bunch of new ones on my blog....
