Dear all,
I had the idea yesterday to include somewhere in the Digital Classicist
Wiki an area for brief "guns for hire" statements: qualifications and
contact details (perhaps even a link to a resumé) of classicists with
computing expertise who may be available for hired work (or even regular
employment) in the field.
(I was just thinking of all the times I've been approached by people
with impeccable qualifications and expertise asking if I know of any
work going--to whom I was unable to be much help--and the equally large
and frustrating number of times I've been approached by projects looking
for someone to help out with a database, a web site, or programming help
who also knew something about the ancient world. It is my contention
that the future of this discipline is with people whose training is in
classics [archaeology, history, etc.] who have since or incidentally
acquired significant computing skills.)
So, do people think this would be a useful resource? Would you use it?
(To advertise yourself or to look for help?) Does this replicate an
existing resource that we should instead be pointing people to? Can
anyone think of any other problems with such an idea?
Cheers,
