    I'm not so much of a web dev, but I have a two year degree in Computer Information Systems, which is basically Computer Science (including GUI, web, and database development), though finding a job has been impossible for me, even in IT Support, thus I am going back to school to study Electrical Engineering. I run Gentoo Linux and have intermediate knowledge of the Linux ecosystem, hell even Windows now given my work experience. I'm sort of a jack of "many" trades in IT at this point, more or less, and I learn very quickly.

    Nevertheless, I figured such a project would be a fun hobby project, but I have wanted to help out Marxist organizations and websites on their technological front as well. I am super busy, however, and it takes me months to even complete my own projects. I would probably be able to help on the side when I am doing college or potentially if and when I get a job that gives me more free time (hell, even PTO, being a contractor sucks). I already have a huge and growing backlog of projects I have been needing to do, but helping Marxist and tech documentation websites preserve their content has been a major concern of mine, especially in light of Google's Web Environment Integrity API development.

    Thank you for informing me about MIA. I had no idea they manipulated texts and are trots. I am definitely going to be wary of them now.

      I documented some of their edits here: https://hexbear.net/comment/3599050

      It's because of trickery such as this that we decided that on the prolewiki library we would not edit texts from the original.

      Note that Mastering Bolshevism seems to be the title marx2mao gave to these two speeches collected from Stalin, a more common title is indeed the one marxists.org uses.

      Anyway, you can request an account freely on prolewiki and then use it when you feel like it or when you have time. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount
