Hello and apologies for posting this in People looking for Jobs, in fact it’s Job looking for People (Also posted in [Co-operative News database needs PHP help](https://community.coops.tech/t/co-operative-news-database-needs-php-help/1659) but no replies … perhaps it’s asking too much!?)

Anyway, any replies would be welcome, even if it’s only advice. I’ve never tried before recruiting a PHP developer.

As part of my work with Webarchitects I’m also on the committee of a co-operative resource centre [“Principle 5” [https://www.principle5.coop](https://www.principle5.coop)]. There we’ve started work on a project to produce an _index_ database of the back editions of Co-operative News, intended to become a permanent and ever-growing resource, available for anyone looking into the co-op movement - both historical/back issues and current/continuing into the future. This excellent newspaper has been published over the last 150 years so, yes, it’ll be a long task indexing each article and edition, but we’re volunteer-powered and up for the task.

To start the database (which will be online and free to access) we’ve had help from Jade, a Chinese volunteer/graduate, and it’s close to beta version already. Jade has done the front end, but in completing the back end **she needs up-skilling. We’ve been advised that someone with PHP development skills is needed. Basically I am asking if someone can spend a day maybe, with Jade, on paired programming ?? She’s based here in Sheffield and is learning PHP**. If you or anyone you know have PHP skills and are willing to consider offering some limited volunteer work, will you kindly get in touch?

Principle 5 is an un-funded and volunteer-run resource centre /archive/library/reading room; rent is our major cost, covered by subscriptions from members and we cannot afford to employ anyone, hence this request. There is no time deadline except that Jade _may_ have to leave the UK in March, thanks to our not-generous immigration laws.

Thanks,  
Jonathan Cook  
Webarchitects & Principle 5  
PS Please feel free to pass this message on to any likely people? Thanks!
