Love Can Take It is a big project, and requires a lot of effort from a lot of people. We aren't accepting counselors yet since our counselor system is still under construction, but that doesn't mean you should shy away from applying! You can sign up at join.lovecantakeit.org. Almost nothing is "mandatory" but if it is 50% complete or less, it will be automatically rejected. We want to know who is representing our organization, so the more you tell us, the more likely we are to accept you.

If you'd like to become staff, we have several requirements, and the application process is very different. First, you have to live in Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, or Florida. The closer to Atlanta, the better. You have to be familiar with basic web applications as you will be using our email suite and our CRM (ill post requirements for tech team in a different note). We need to know about your personality, your age, gender, marital status, qualifications (not required), any special abilities, your personal email address, a short narrative on why you'd like to join, and a short narrative on why we should accept you. If you somehow combine them, that's fine. We'd also like to know about your education and if you have references, that would help. Remember: this organization is run by high school students, so don't be ashamed if you don't have a Ph.D. or insane qualifications. Just be honest. Reading applcations can be boring, so we appreciate creativity. To turn them in, email them to mikeburroughs@lovecantakeit.org, with the subject "Staff application". We accept most types of Office documents, PDF's, JPG's, or you can tell us everything right in the email. I'm a geek, so I can open just about any type of file (that's not an invitation to make reading your application a challenge). Any questions, email the above address. Thanks!

It's way too hard to read and we just don't wanna deal with it.

This is my official way of welcoming developers to the Love Can Take It platform. I want to go over what we use server-side so y'all can get working.

-Applications------------------------------------------
Each application needs to run on the web or a web technology. We will not allow the development of desktop programs (.exe, .app, etc).

Applications based on our site must either run in browser or as an Adobe AIR Application.

Any application above 4 GB must be hosted on a non-LCTI server (all LCTI Application Standards and Policies will still apply).

Web-based apps must be 760 pixels in width or narrower, are not vertically restricted, and are limited to 1 advertisement box managed by Google AdWords or AdSense. Each page has a maximum size of 20kb of plain HTML, 1MB if a Flash, Quicktime, Silverlight or other preloader is present.

AIR Applications must bare the Love Can Take It logo and fit the general style. They must also be able to run on the minimum requirements of AIR ( http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/) and be able to run at the resolution of 800 by 600.

Any and all codes must be fully compliant. We accept XHTML, SHTML. HTML, CSS, PHP (MySQL) and ActionScript 2.0 & 3.0. Our staff system accepts XHTML, SHTML. HTML, CSS, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, PHP (MySQL) and ActionScript 2.0 & 3.0.

Other than that, usually rules apply. No cursing, no pornography (or "artful nude"), no linking to pornography (or "artful nude"), no discriminating (except by OS or browser), no viruses, trojans, worms, watchers, loggers or other types of malware. Any of that will get you immediately banned by IP address, precise Internet Service Provider Subnet, and email address.

To submit, email applications@lovecantakeit.org. If the App is under 5 megabytes, ZIP/RAR archive it and email it as an attachment. If above that, post it as a password protected ZIP or RAR archive on a site such as MegaUpload or RapidShare, and email me the link and password for it. The email must include a full description of the app, it's features, capabilities, user requirements and our requirements to manage it. Please understand once it is uploaded, it becomes property of Love Can Take It and we have full legal right to use the app as we please, however we will give the developer credit for the development of the application.
