 ===== Code Contributor ===== ===== Code Contributor =====
  
 +Coding SKills:
 +
 +  * General web development/programming experience with LAMP-based applications including some Javascript 
 +  * Basic knowledge of version control systems (Agasti uses BZR)
 +  * Basic familiarity with the model view controller MVC pattern
 +  * Working knowledge of PHP 
 +  * Working knowledge of jQuery
 +  * Basic understanding of sql
 +  * Basic understanding of HTTP/web protocols
 +
 +===== Quality Assurance and Testing =====
 +
 +Quality Assurance and Testing spans a wide variety of activities from clicking through the application and adding to the bug list, to constructing customized tests for the application.  In general, Quality Assurance volunteers will want to have:
 +  * Exploratory Testing
 +  * Basic selenium tests
 +  * Knowledge of static analysis tools to identify files in need of refactoring
 +
 +===== Writers and Documenters =====
 +
 +Documentation contributors do not need technical knowledge or background; just a desire to learn about the application and proficient writing skills.  Later, when we begin localizing and customizing the Agasti projects more technical knowledge will be helpful, but it is not required.
 +
 +Documentation Skills:
 +  * Proficient written English
 +  * Basic wiki knowledge (or proficient Google skills for reference information)
 +
 +===== System Administrator =====
 +
 +Ideally, System Administrators would be available and familiar with Agasti projects to assist potential end user administrators.  Also, System Administrators with experience using FOSS applications and their installation would be very helpful for testing and feedback.
