Because we get an overwelming ammount of news to post, even with the autoparser, there's just too much for one person to do, and I often find myself just deleting 80% of it and posting only 20 items or so. Some days are worse then others.

So I need a few people to simply post news every day. If the work is devided there won't be so much to do. I'd give you access to a gmail account where all the filtered mail lands in, and you simply copy and paste the title, link, description and occasional picture. After doing about 10 of them you'd get the hang of it and if enough people help out on a daily basis it may take only 5 minutes instead of half an hour.

So if anyone is interested PM me and I'll give you the details.

Please note this has to be a daily thing, though, and it's an unpaid job... well you get ICs that's it.

I might need a few more people helping with this. This should be temporary as I'm working on an automated solution for this, so it should post a good 70-80% of the news automaticly once I get deeper in C++ and string parsing, etc. the php parser helps, but is still not 100% efficient, and still requires human interaction, so this server side one will sit on the gateway and submit news as they come. Once I get to trust the bot, I may even set it so it bypasses the validation system so news will actually be posted as it comes.

For the news that can't be parsed I may actually set it up so it bounces and says that their email format cannot be parsed and that it won't be posted to avoid having to even worry about manual news posting. Since some sites have very horrible email formats making it difficult to parse, and it's not up to us to figure out what's the title, link, and description, let alone try to write a bot that can figure it out.
