I would HIGHLY recommend that you hire someone with a museum background and commitment but with computer skills and slightly nerdish tendencies: because trying to teach a specifically computer-trained person to understand what you are talking about (and trying to compete with what they can earn in the private sector!) will certainly prove expensive and conceivably impossible in the long run, whereas someone with a commitment as a museum professional AND this interest can be invested in with more computer training. In Mississippi state government we have a classification called "DP-Technical Specialist" that combines computer training/experience with professional qualifications in the target field, and it works very well for such purposes.
