Who does what and when in the Project Sharing Engine project

The Project Sharing Engine project is a funded experiment to explore how to link Transition Initiative websites together across the web to share information about Transition projects with the users of the Transition Initiative’s websites without them having to visit the Transition Network website.

Here is a rough breakdown of who is doing what, when, who is paid, who isn’t etc.:

Who is doing what?

• Funder:
  • Nominet Trust: sponsoring the project and helping us keep it on track
• Paid ‘staff’:
  • Project co-ordinator: 2 days per week from September 2011 to February 2013: Ed Mitchell
  • Transition Technologists: working collaboratively with shared budgets in four stages from September 2011 to February 2013:
    • Jim Kirkpatrick (lead developer)
    • Laura Whitehead (designer)
    • Chris Croome (systems administrator)
    • with the possibility of others if needed
• Volunteers:
