Volunteer(s) wanted to classify / index above
Volunteer(s) wanted to help with organising. We'll give you free print Journals.
1. classifying / indexing above on Excel - updating each issue, by adding FTJ contents when new one issued which is every 4 months. We'll give you free print Journals.
2. Someone more knowledgeable than me to set up a searchable Website database for "Articles, songs & tunes".
~ Our Excel list as above to be converted to a searchable database with options of choosing by author, title, etc.
I have FileMaker 18, used for a simple member-records database (I started with an earlier version, kept upgrading to maintain that simple database).In theory can be used for a complex database, accessible from web, but I don't know how.
3. A website editor to take over website ! (a boy can dream...)
Please contact sam@folklife.uk
FTJ is not viable as a solo stand-alone publication!
FTJ, and this website, are paid for by subscribers to FW: Folklife West print magazine [folk club etc news].
Therefore our priority must be constantly updating our website for FW; so for this site, we need help from others.
