    Help Wanted (and greatly appreciated)!

    Hi all!

    Treeleaf is budding some new leaves and we are in need of some folks versed well in phpBB(what we use here for the forum), MySQL (the database here). We are looking at a fresh face for the forum, not only in design - Which a very kind chocobuda has been actively helping out with design(a wonderful new logo and color scheme), along with providing a testing ground -er which I blew up already - thus this post , but organization, more relevant information coming to the foreground and removing the old flash landing page and providing something that is more suited as a gateway to the zendo - basically a phpBB web interface that has has all the key Treeleaf info for visiting folks to learn about Treeleaf.

    Changes such as a multiple column forum interface (TBD) a refreshed theme and perhaps a couple of new features to Treeleaf.

    I encourage anyone who can to lend what help they can here. If you have the skills it would be greatly appreciated if we could use them here!
    I am a great shade tree mechanic but I have no background in the backend of things and I often cause more harm than good!

    Treeleaf does not ask for money however Dana in the the form of lending a hand and some time is always welcome! (as well as the the other recommend forms of Dana posted already, of course )
    If you can help please post it here, pm or email me, shohei@treeleaf.org!

    Hello Shohei,

    Regrettably, I've got no experience with either sql or php. However, if the need arises, I could always dust off my java and help that way (it's a little on the decrepit side at the moment).

    Metta and Gassho,

          I'm a tester (among other things). I usually manage to crash something pretty efficiently if it doesn't work. :twisted:
          I understand html and css, but probably not the more fancier stuff.

            I know this seems like a small matter, but could we see the new logo?
            It's going to represent us all.

              As a former combat soldier and current chef, there's probably not much I can add... but I'm creative and a halfway decent writer, so, if there's any way I can help I'm willing.

                With words like this:
                flash landing page and providing something that is more suited as a gateway to the zendo - basically a phpBB web interface
                And this:
                Changes such as a multiple column forum interface (TBD)
                I am certainly underqualified to even attempt to help on the tech part! If there is any other way to offer assistance please let me know.

                    Hey Shohei, I don't know PHP (yet). I code in Java regularly, and I also interface with Databases quite frequently. I've set up a local instance of MySQL before, and I use it to test an application that stores its data on the backend. I'm not a MySQL expert persay, but what help did you need? Do you have it installed anywhere yet? I'm very fluent in SQL, and the MySQL Gui tools, it makes life easier

                    I am very busy as of late; with work and studying. I do not say that to deflect, I just don't know if you have a quick implementation timeline . Please PM me with more details.

                    Gassho,

                      Well, we can't show you yet our SUPER TOP SECRET new logo, but this was the second candidate ...



                      So, please be patient. Anyway, what really "represents us all" is named Karl from New Jersey! 8)

                        I have no practical skill related to programming - I wish I could help. That said, it will be interesting to see the refreshed site!

                          I too have zero skills, but the project sounds exciting, look forward to seeing the new look, and thanks ahead to all those who invest their work.
