A New Staff Member SiLink will be rejoining the JKHub staff after retiring last year! Please welcome him back! Due to his technical knowledge and experience, he will also be considered the "site technician," as was spoken about last month. He has a large amount of technical experience as the former leader of the JAWA clan. As time goes on though, there possibly may be more opportunities/positions in the technical area of JKH for those interested. Looking Forward to 2014 2014 is not far from today. We will be interviewing some well known modders on their projects, modding backgrounds, and more soon! So you can look forward to those interviews being published over a period of several weeks, likely beginning next month! I also feel 2014 will continue to bring interesting file submissions from modders and more!

We are looking for a technician (or technicians)! The staff have determined that we have had some people asking at one point or another if they could help JKHub by being a technician of some kind, to help work on the maintenance/improvements side of JKHub. Therefore, we are opening applications for such a position. If we get several good applications, we may choose 2 people for the position. The Work As technician, you will be doing site maintenance, coordinating backups, and ensuring our site and hosted sites are kept secure and up-to-date software-wise. You will also write documentation for how to do processes with the site if needed (for the staff and any future technicians' reference). You will be helping to keep JKHub, one of the most popular and active community sites for the Jedi Knight series, with over 900 registered members, up and running. You must be responsible, as you will have access to various parts of JKHub and its site files. You must also be able to set aside time on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis for required maintenance tasks. This is a volunteer position. You will not be paid. Requirements At least Intermediate HTML and CSS knowledge. Experience with managing websites in the past (medium to large scale). Basic MySQL knowledge (being able to create new databases and database users, add data with phpMyAdmin) Ability to work well with others (others means the other technician if chosen and the staff members). Have responsibility and maturity. Ability to quickly learn about our systems and how they work (There are tutorials we have already made for a lot of the essential tasks). Ability to set aside time on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis for required maintenance tasks. Good to haves PHP knowledge. IP Board knowledge. Intermediate to advanced MySQL knowledge. Very fast internet connection for site backups (if you don't, that's fine, as you can just work with one of our staff members to do backups when available). By fast, we mean being able to download 40GB+ relatively quickly, and being able to quickly upload 8GB+ if necessary. How to apply Submit your application via PM to the JKHub account. There is no formal format for the application, just explain how you meet the requirements and why you'd be good for the position. Application Deadline All applications must be submitted by December 14th. Thanks for reading, and be sure to submit your application if you want the position!

New Rules Being Introduced We are introducing some new rules about file submissions in order to improve the experience of those who download files, as well as to ensure a positive experience for file submitters. The Rules Files must contain a readme. The fields which are bolded below are required to be in said readme, with unbolded fields being not required, but strongly reccommended (If it's hard to see the bold, every field but date and filesize are in bold).Author File Name and Version Date Filesize Description with installation instructions Copyright/License Credits with Permissions from other authors if necessary. [*]If you submit a file that is not yours, you must email the original author before submitting it asking for permission for it to be uploaded to JKHub by you. If you are granted permission by the author, you may submit the file to JKHub. In the file description you must state that you received permission to upload it. It's a good idea to save a copy of the author's response in case someone claims that you actually did not receive permission, when in fact you actually did. If you are denied permission by the author, obviously you are not permitted to upload the file to JKHub. If you do not receive a response from the author within one week of sending the email, you may submit the file to JKHub. In the file description you must state that you attempted to contact the author and did not receive a response within a week. The staff will then determine whether or not we feel the file can be uploaded to the site. Please note that the file may be taken down if the original author requests so. [*]Lying about permissions will be taken very seriously by staff and will result in whatever consequences the staff deem appropriate. [*]If you submit a file that is not yours, you must include the original readme that came with the file if it had one. In the file description, you must state that the file was not made by you(make sure you put your username, not simply "me"), and state who it was made by. [*]Files must also of course comply with JKHub's rules (under the "Our Rules" header). [*]As stated in the JKHub rules, staff always have the final say. As is also stated in the rules, "Users are welcome and encouraged to question staff decisions if they feel these decisions are incorrect." [*]Rules may be modified, removed, and/or added over time. To see the most up-to-date rules, always check here. Please feel free to submit feedback on these rules in this thread, or in the Ideas & Issues section of the forums. Rules concerning readmes do not apply to files already approved. If your file was denied recently, it may have been because we wanted it to be submitted under these rules. Please submit it again if you think this is the case. Thank you. JKHub Rules were updated on 12/1/13. These are no longer complete.
