Digital Library Developer
The Wikipedia Library
San Francisco

We are planning to create a Digital Library Card Platform
for The Wikipedia Library. We are looking for a developer, or team, with a
history of successfully developing web applications in open development
frameworks (such as Drupal, Angular, Ember, CiviCRM, etc.). Efficient
production, clear communication, and well-structured and secure code are a
must. Additional consideration will go towards applicants who have worked in
the Library and Information Science field, on Open Source projects, or in the
Wikimedia/Mediawiki communities. Our budget currently allows for $5000-$15,000
for development of a working version within 4- 6 months. We expect to expand
the platform in two later phases to add additional functionality around
standard library services.

  
The Wikipedia Library helps Wikipedia's top editors receive access to
donations from leading publishers and databases. Now that we have over 3 dozen
publishing partners including Elsevier JSTOR, Oxford University Press, and
SAGE, AND nearly a dozen global branches with 2 dozen more planned for the
next year AND commitments to support other TWL programs across the globe... we
need to create a system that will facilitate our expansion. In the past,
manual and separate processes for delivering access were appropriate, but this
year's focus is on scaling and growth. Developing the Digital Library Card
Platform tool is a top priority for us this year.

  
Qualified and interested applicants should read this project overview and fill
out the form linked on this page by September 30 [extended deadline]:
