Rebuilding inCountry.ca - Vietnam Website

[Staffsgt]

Some of you may remember a little site called inCountry.ca. You'll even find it tucked away up in a drop down menu here on ASC.. Under News/Info.

For those who had an interest in the Vietnam war (and specifically Vietnam War Airsofting), it was a pretty decent place to hang out. Things have fallen by the wayside as I grew older and was pulled away by school and work. However, the time has come to rebuild and renew the site. However, I'm definitely going to need some help. I can (and am willing) to do this alone, but the process will go much faster if interested and dedicated individuals pitch in.

There are three areas where I need the most help to start.

IMAGE COLLECTION
Job Description: Surfing the internet for Vietnam related images.
Requirements: If you pull images from a site, they must be placed into a directory with a text file listing the site name, address, and any photographer names (if present).
Skills: Copy? Paste? Right click, save as?
Example: Pulling images from a veterans site and ensuring they are properly credited when we use them.

DATA MIGRATION
Job Description: Pulling data from the old website and forums and preparing it for use on the new site.
Requirements: Ability to sift through data and locate important items. Ability to credit an individual with that information if provided by them. Packaging all that information in a directory with associated images.
Skills: HTML knowledge
Example: Reformatting the old ‘Vietnam Database’ site. Pulling reviews from the old forum.

PHOTOGRAPHERS
Job Description: Photographing events, products, equipment, and people.
Requirements: Decent camera and image editing program. Take pictures!
Skills: Ability to use the above said equipment, and to do the task WELL!

If you think you might be able to help, definitely let me know through PM or through email.

I'd probably be able to help with some data migration stuff. Give me a PM when you're ready to start moving on it.
