To all:

I will attest to the fact that there is a shortage of
info tech folks within museums and, in general, the
non-profit world.  I am stunned (although that is
ebbing now) when I walk into a museum and they are
using old 486 machines or Apple IIe's or, gasp,
typewriters.

I think that people looking for jobs in IT should look
at the regular jobs (I am a program assistant) and
then find ways to get IT into their jobs.  After a few
years of regular +IT, you can parlay that into a full
scale IT/museum/non-profit job.  (Or go consulting as
I do.)

I know a while back I had mentioned that I was trying
to put together a "Home for Wayward Web Designers"
(HWWD).  Well that hasn't happened that quickly.  So I
would like to put the word out that if anyone has a
short article or tech tip for designers/techies in the
museum world that might be useful for this web site
please let me know.  I think we could make it into a
real designers showcase (for those of us that happened
into the web world by accident).

Thanks all!
