I work Monday to Friday from 10AM to 7PM Central Time. If you're in Sweden that puts it at 5AM to 2PM Central time your time, so I could chat at about 4PM or so your time during the week, or any time on the weekend.

I can do more technical documentation, yes. I assume we're talking about documenting the code, or writing manuals for the other contributors. I have some programming experience, just not a lot of programming experience.

Position: Documentation Manager Do you understand that Wildfire Games is a non-commercial project, work for 0 A.D. is volunteer, and work is done for free? Yes Do you agree to distribute all your work for Wildfire Games under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license? Yes Name: Glen Murie Email: glenmurie(at) gmail(dot) com Google Talk: glenmurie(at) gmail(dot) com I can get an account with a different IM service if you need me to. Location: Madison, WI - Central Time Availability: I'll be able to contribute about ten hours per week. Age: 42 Occupation: Software Support and Documentation Skills and Experience: I have both an Associates Degree in Computer Science, and a B.S. in Technical Communications. I write for a hobby, and I started, but am no longer involved with, a website called the Battle College. The Battle College had a set of articles that I wrote for a miniatures game called Warmachine. By the time I'd shut down the site due to lack of time and money, I'd written hundreds of strategy and tactics articles. The site was more popular than I realized, and was revived from Wayback archives and Google caches as a wiki by a group of volunteers. I have written documentation and short manuals for my current and previous employers. I wrote the iPhone manual on this web page: https://www.emdat.com/software/mobile.asp I also write fiction as a hobby, and you can see an example of that here: http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?70786-Never-Retired Some more of my writing is on my website at www.geeksdelight.com Motivation: I enjoy writing, and I want to get involved in an open source project because there is too little writing work available with my employer. I want to get involved with something that will motivate me to write more than I do now. I would like to get involved in the coding aspects of an OSS project, but my skills at coding are not as good as my writing skills. Personality: I am a creative person who likes learning new things, sharing knowledge, and teaching others. Short Essay: I discovered 0 A.D. when it became the SourceForge project of the month, and it looks like an amazing game. I'm a big fan of the Civilization games, and I think it would be fun to get involved with 0 A.D. I also want to use this as an opportunity to hone my writing skills. Interests and Hobbies: I divide my time equally between taking care of my twin daughters, miniatures wargaming, painting minatures, and bicycling. Every year I go to GenCon Indy and work as a painting instructor at the Paint and Take. Staff: I do not know anyone on the Wildfire team. Community: www.privateerpressforums.com Favorite Game: My favorite game is Warmachine/Hordes, a tabletop miniatures game. My favorite video game of all time is the Fallout series. Currently, I'm playing a lot of Skyrim and Little Big Planet. Work Examples: I have links to examples of my work above; under Skills and Experience.
