PHP Developer - MediaWiki Modifications (Remote)

Help us fix a broken political system. We are looking for a skilled web developer to modify MediaWiki software to allow for the creation of a debate archive. Users of the product will collaboratively create and edit summaries of talking points for various topics (current events and oft-repeated discussions), with editing permissions restricted so that each editor must choose a side, and are then allowed to only edit that side of the debate.

Visit www.wikipraxis.org to learn more about our nonprofit organization’s goals—the ‘Discourse’ tool is what you’ll be working on, to get it ready for beta testing. Successful completion of this part of the project could eventually lead to a full-time position, once we have a more robust fundraising operation.

The mission of our organization is nothing less than a complete overhaul of the means of political communication, with tools designed specifically to make the conversations more constructive.

Applicants can review our website and send us a message letting us know what they think of the project, as well as how much experience they have working with PHP (and MediaWiki specifically).

Pay: $50.00 per hour
