Team signup! (for iteration 0)

[alexbayleaf]

Hey everyone, just wanted to get an idea of who's interested in working on what over the next few weeks, for this first iteration, named (in true programmer style) "iteration 0".

Please drop a comment with the following information:

1) team(s)/skill area(s) you're interested in
2) level of experience at that kind of work

The teams are:

- customer (you're a gardener with opinions on how the site should work)
- design (graphic design, UI, CSS, etc)
- communications (writing text for the website, eg. community guidelines)
- coding (backend/frontend, let's mix these together for now)
- sysadmin/devops (including deploying releases of our rails app, etc)

A sample response might be:

I'd like to sign up for:

- design (familiar with HTML/CSS, have worked on a few websites before)
- coding (zero experience but would like to learn frontend/javascript)
- customer (err, I have a garden? and opinions!)

Note that if you sign up now, this is not a long-term commitment! This is just for the next 3 weeks; all you're doing is expressing interest in participating in the very first steps. Also, it's not set in stone... if you want to join in or drop out partway through, that's OK. I'm just trying to get an idea of who's up for this first iteration.

When this first iteration's done, we'll either re-run this signup process, or find a better way of figuring out who's interested for each subsequent iteration. (Quite likely we'll find a better way. I know this is clunky!)

Hi! I'm helping coach, but if need be I can also stand in in the roles of

- customer (we have a garden that my partner runs and I help tend)
- communications (though I take forever to write things, they seem to come out ok when I do)
- coding (I have both development and test experience, though I'm not current on Rails)
- sysadmin/devops (I do general sysadminly stuff, though again, I'm not up to date on the latest & greatest of Rails deployment)

I'm a little time-constrained, but I'll try to clear up as much schedule space as I can and not bite off more than I can chew. ^_^;
