Talk:Committees

Content Committee
Per the advice of John Volpe, I'd like to see if we could flesh out the role and responsibilities of this committee.

The Content committee website project will last approximately six months and will require approximately 5 hours per week time commitment. Initially, the time commitment may slightly exceed 5 hours per week but as the project progresses we expect the time commitment to be no more than 5 hours weekly. The project will be run virtually requiring weekly conference calls and during the course of the project several in person meetings at our New York City offices located in the Columbia University medical complex in upper Manhattan.

The content Committee Members will:

- Share OurMed’s vision to become a leading provider of free, unbiased, world-wide health-care information Possess a broad knowledge of medicine and/or science

- Be comfortable working with technology and website development projects Can provide the leadership to manage and motivate a volunteer team of professionals

- Be very articulate and can work well with medical, technical and other professionals

- Have the time to commit to the project. Ideally, the Content Committee Chair would be someone from the medical /scientific community with broad experience in medicine, science, medical research, administration, technology, teaching or a related field.

- Have previous experience working or writing for Wikipedia, Medipedia or related medical websites, professional journals or comparable endeavors would be a major plus.

- Knowledge of Wiki technology and or CMS would be helpful.
