The plan for this project is to develop a Vietnamese version of PEOI. The Vietnamese PEOI web site is especially intended to assist Vietnamese people.
To accomplish this goal, about 6 committed individuals are
necessary to form a Vietnamese translation team. In that team there
are several distinct responsibilities:
- coordinator and tasks supervisor who must be an excellent communicator
and be available every day of the week an
average of one hour; he/she must have an excellent understanding
of how individual tasks can be accomplished and how the entire
project can be completed;
- webmaster who need not create the web site as the entire English
set of pages will be transferred to the Vietnamese web site, but he/she
must be knowledgeable about how to upload files, handle Linux
folders, verify HTML and use CGI; he/she must distribute work
to translators for text files that are accessible through PEOI
procedures; his work load is about 5-10 hours per week with minimum
of 3 hours in any given week;
- one or two translators of general text, who will receive the
text from the webmaster and return to same; the workload
and schedule are flexible; probably 10 hours per week would be
optimum;
- four or five translators of economics, accounting and finance
courses, who can work directly with PEOI procedures
with the webmaster uploading completed work to permanent folders;
workload is entirely flexible; also optimum of 10
hours per week.
Aside from translation of courses, there is usually a large volume of general information that PEOI needs to have translated. In particular there are automated email messages and procedures files that can be translated, edited and corrected with a special procedure.
All the work can be performed at home on one's own computer. Additional
explanations of the work to be performed
can be found in volunteer assignment for translator and in "Authors"
section.
All tasks can be carried out from home on your own computer and at your own time. Volunteers can join in forum discussions of issues of common interest. Registration is necessary to participate in a forum. Volunteer tranlators should register as translators, and make sure to join the Vietnamese translation team. Other volunteers are invited to register as volunteer staff members. For more details, pease write a short message indicating the volunteer opportunity you are interested in, attach a recent resume, and email to appropriate person in contact information.
To see the members of the Vietnamese team, use the Authors list in "Authors" section (note that you must be registered and logged in to make full use of the procedure).
