BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) - http://pkp.sfu.ca - is a federally funded research initiative at Simon Fraser University, Stanford University, and the University of British Columbia. PKP was established by Dr. John Willinsky in 1998. It seeks to improve the scholarly and public quality of academic research through the development of innovative online environments. PKP has developed free, open source software for the management, publishing, and indexing of journals and current conferences. The PKP software suite is comprised of three modules in production: Open Archives Harvester, Open Journal Systems, and Open Conference Systems, and two in development: Lemon8-XML and Open Monograph Press. The current PKP website - http://pkp.sfu.ca - provides more information about the PKP and its open source software including "test drive" versions of the latter. This is an opportunity to work on a meaningful, successful and exciting project and gain experience in open source software development. In addition to working with developers at other Synergies sites across Canada, there is an international development community emerging around the PKP software. You will be joining an enthusiastic and independent team and you will have the chance to contribute to several different applications.
