<= div>I move to create a post of = "Project Manager", someone who is remunerated for their work and = who act as liaison between all the projects we are doing. I am going to wri= te a detailed description of the responsibilities for the post below:

A Project Manager/Liai= son will:
  • Be = responsible for our standardized, central social media accounts. (YouTube, = Google+, Facebook groups, Facebook page and twitter).
  • Be the person keeping track of al= l the things happening in various parts of the world and report them to the= Board on a monthly and quarterly basis. This includes any local meetups an= d logfests, if any.

And by keeping corresponding page in the wiki up to date, righ= t?=C2=A0
=E2=80= =8BI was thinking more about reporting them to the Board. The point below w= here this person keeps the News section on the wiki updated probably covers= what you want though. To be clear, yes, what you means is one of their res= ponsibilities.=E2=80=8B
=C2=A0
=
  • Be the focal person to consolidate the different disparate comm= unities, for example the ones in Japan and Russia and keep every community = in the loop.
using wha= t language?
=E2= =80=8BThe person I have in mind is conversational in Japanese and fluent in= English. =E2=80=8BThat's two of the three languages down. Most other p= laces, we can work via interpreters or just use English.
=C2=A0
<= div>
  • Create and maintain= a monthly newsletter, and maintain the news section on the Wiki so that pe= ople can keep up with things.
  • Oversee and help planning the various projects like the Lojba= n=C2=A0proficiency test, the anki card creation, the CLL 1.1 and others. PM= will keep track of time spent and enforce deadlines, reporting back to the= board about the problems being faced and possible solutions.
    • Act as the liaison between BP= FK and the rest of the Lojban community.
  • Help in picking out volunteers from the IRC/FB/G+ = communities and assign them responsibilities in the parts that need volunte= ers and rotate and replace them if necessary.
  • Deal with the press, if necessary.
    =

What about te= ch issues, like server timedowns? Today the wiki was down. Can anything be = done to prevent such cases in future?
<= div>
=E2=80=8BI think that requires a tech team. For now, we don't ne= ed one, because we have a lot of tech people. Although the PM can be the pe= rson notified of this and it could be their job to both report it on Social= Media and =E2=80=8Balso coordinate with us back-end people so we can make = sure it gets back up. The nitty gritty of technical stuff is something best= left to Robin et al for now.
=

A= lso I suggest that we have some kind of a GTD app maybe in the form of a si= mple mediawiki page or with the help of some extension. Or just use Trello = or Redmine.
    • I think that this is a major need for u= s. Most of us are volunteers and have lojban as more of hobby than our day = job. Someone like this will take over a lot of tiny responsibilities and he= lp us focus on what we love in a much more efficient way. The fact that the= y will be paid will make sure that they actually stay and not flake.
    I welcome any discussion on this proposal.
