A Task Force is needed to compile, author and illustrate a guide or wiki on the Pakistani Military.
Task Force 2: Chief Editor jaibi, Chief-Supervisor-Technical @Aeronaut
We would need the guide to have proper illustrations with graphs, drawings and such and thus we need someone who can handle the designing part of it.
We would release this as a .pdf document so it needs to be tailored properly for an international audience with references.
What is needed
Ideally at least one member for each of these positions:
Project Manager/s/ Chief Editor Ideally someone with enough experience to coordinate the team effort and maximise output and handle organisational issues FILLED
Technical Experts: Someone who knows about military hardware and technology, they would be instrumental for information regarding assets. Ideally, we need at least one for each Navy, Air Force and the Army
Professionals: Someone who has studied or served in the military and can illustrate the command structure and organisational base of the military arrangement both at the micro and macro level, I think @Pakistanisage can help us with the Air Force and @F.O.X with the army we need someone for the navy as well.
Navy experts required
Illustrater/graphic designer/ composer: Ideally someone with enough knowhow of softwares who can put of the final version with pictures, graphs and illustrations that look neat and proper and have knowledge of file conversion like .rtf/.docx to .pdf
Experts People who will be writing the stuff perhaps for each section, please add references, use EndNote. I can help in showing how to use it.
Research Assitants: People who are willing to help in any way they can. They can proof read, can handle referencing. Individual with experience of research and handling of research softwares like Endote and SPSS would be given preference.
NOTE: Work samples of composers and work experience would be appreciated they can be mailed to jaibi@defence.pk.
NOTE: This is a long term project at least 4-9 months and will be an immense help to Pakistan and PDF, the only military authority we have has been published by Harvard University
http://belfercenter.hks.harvard.edu/files/Pakistan-Military-final-B.pdf
and has no input from any Pakistani, we need to change that. Please have a look at the document, that is our end aim, only better.
Please, apply only if you are serious and can commit at least At least 3-4 hours per week to PDF.
As I said this is a long term project, our focus is on quality.
REWARD: Members who will be selected will be given the title of Star Members upon completion of the project and would be considered for future induction into the next batch of Junior Think Tanks
