===================
Booktype Programmer
===================

Sourcefabric is currently looking for an intermediate programmer to
join our team. You'll be working on Booktype, our open source book
production platform and its rendering software Objavi.

Booktype is a free, open source platform that produces beautiful,
engaging books formatted for print, Amazon, Lulu, iBooks and almost
any e-reader within minutes. You can create books on your own or with
others via an easy-to-use web interface or build a community around
content with social tools.

Of the software, Forbes said "Booktype will make it easier for
companies and people to collate, organise and edit content, and make
it ready for publication."

GoodEReader said it was a "unique crowd-sourced ebook authoring
toolkit," while ReadWriteWeb explained it as "Wordpress for books" and
The Digital Reader proclaimed it "Inkling Habitat for the rest of us."

Booktype works with a renderer known as Objavi for producing book
formatted PDF, EPUB, ODT, templated HTML and MOBI and other formats.
This position will focus on Objavi development but the applicant is
expected to also work on Booktype.
