Volunteer to write Topic-Xplainers
We need the help of Volunteers to build up and improve the free learning content of this site!
All who register in the community can equally share best practices without any further qualification. You can contribute in discussions and add your favorite links to our common collection.
BX Editors
We also need engaged writers, fluent in a language, that want to help us develop and correct our content. For each Topic there should be a BX Xplanation (How to-summary) as short and condensed as possible. These texts should develop over time as we collectively learn more from each other and best practices evolve. Our BX descriptions are visible to all people and not just for logged in users.
If you want to contribute to the social cause of this community and help us monitor our content for a certain subject, write, edit or translate our descriptions, then contact us. If you receive Editor rights, you can choose to publish your user profile on our Editors page.
Currently in our early start up phase we don't know at what pace we can ad more languages but we intend to start out with a focus on English and Swedish.
BX Organizers
Our content structure is organized according to the ABIO (All Business In One) model. It is a model that attempts to include all business tasks and processes and put them into a common context. It is generic and not branch specific. However nothing is perfect and we are open to develop the model further and to modify it over time. To avoid chaos we however need to restrict the number of people who can change the content structure.
You understand and agree with the basic ABIO-model and would like to help out with the structure of content and make sure the right things are discussed and linked in the right place. Maybe you have ideas how to improve or expand the content structure. Tell us about yourself and how you want to help re-organizing or expanding content. Organizers has Editor-rights plus additional rights to move and re-organize content.
New Languages
If you are an experienced business professional that has a lot of time to spend and very good knowledge of a specific language you can maybe help us launch BX businessXplainer in a new language for a new country.
BusinessXplainer has the vision to become a global resource available in many languages. This however requires a lot of work and resources and we don’t know at what pace this can be realized. We will need the help of volunteers to translate our basic content plus all the site menus etc. We would love to receive your application to volunteer as translator and some indication on how much time and effort you can spend. Then we will save the information and get in contact with you when the time and resources are available on our side to go ahead with your language.
Until then maybe you can get some translations done by using on line translations such as google translate. https://translate.google.com
