The Board.

This is the island noticeboard for the Caribbean collective. Jobs from official sources, creative collabs, freelance work, questions, shouts from us and all your posts. No accounts, no tracking. Just connections. Send yours to hello@n4mu.com.

Idea from the n4mu desk

1. One Barbados bus route — For riders planning a bus trip: put the route and its service dates together. First task: make a field sheet from one Transport Authority route page and confirm the service dates.

2. Jamaica public-notice change notes — For small suppliers following public tenders: make changes easier to compare. First task: compare two official GOJEP notices by hand and record only the changes shown.

3. A checked-date waste-schedule ledger — For residents checking collection days: keep the schedule beside the date it was checked. First task: record one region’s NSWMA schedule link and checked date; the schedule does not confirm a collection took place.

4. A public-form accessibility inventory — For people using public forms with assistive tools: help them see what a file offers before opening it. First task: inventory one Cayman form’s official link, displayed date, file type and observable accessibility features.

5. Caribbean-language resource stewardship — For language researchers and community stewards: help people find who cares for a resource today. First task: confirm the current custodian and resource before making a metadata-only record; this UWI report is historical (2006–2007), not proof of a service operating today.

6. Rights-aware history citations — For students and local-history writers: make a citation easier to trace. First task: link one UWI archive item and record its stated rights note alongside the citation.

7. Calendar dates that survive an import — For event organisers and calendar maintainers sharing across islands: help dates keep their intended local meaning. First task: use an existing calendar/parser project to test one synthetic all-day event and one timed entry with an explicit IANA zone, comparing the intended local date after import/export.

8. Check a caption file before upload — For filmmakers and musicians who supply their own captions: check the file before sending it to a platform. First task: check one creator-owned WebVTT file locally with an existing parser and report format/timing issues; overlap alone is not an error. YouTube caption formats ↗
