First, if you are an investor in Gab but would like to retroactively de-invest for whatever reason, there is a good chance you can still do so. StartEngine has not charged most credit cards, but the cancel button will not work if it has been more than 48 hours. However, if you contact StartEngine support, it is still possible to manually cancel the investment.
Second, the Production Editor of Castalia House is looking for up to four volunteers to help him produce print and ebook editions more rapidly. His list of requirements are as follows:
Basic requirements:
- Command line experience in Linux or Mac OS X or a BSD, etc.
- Experience with DVCS. We use Git.
- Attention to detail. Much of the work involves correcting curly quotes facing the wrong direction, or italics that accidentally include punctuation, etc.
- Concern for the way text looks, whether in print or in ebook.
For ebooks:
- Markdown
- Basic HTML and CSS
For print:
- LaTeX (for marking up manuscripts, not writing new commands or environments).
- Familiarity with basic typesetting concepts is preferred.
To help with tool development:
- Experience writing LaTeX macros and environments
- Python
- Advanced Pandoc tricks (filters, custom writers)
- Lua
- Docker
- Adobe Acrobat Pro (we’d like to customize some preflight profiles)
Please only volunteer if you really like doing this stuff and have at least a few hours every week to devote to it. We have a lot to do, we move fast, and our smooth operation relies heavily upon everyone doing what they do without requiring a great deal of communication or cheerleading.
