### **The Project**

We are looking for a senior-level freelancer to stabilize and optimize our Discourse community. We have a backlog of technical debt, migration errors, and specific tracking requirements. We work on a per-ticket basis with a focus on fast execution.

### **Core Work Packages**

**1. Critical Fixes & Infrastructure**

- **SSO/Authentication:** Resolve Google SSO issues (registration currently failing).

- **Database Audit:** Audit and fix database inconsistencies resulting from a previous faulty migration.

- **HTML Rendering:** Resolve issues where elements are displayed as raw HTML code. Requires auditing the Markdown engine and Cooked-content sanitization.

**2. Accessibility (High Priority)**

- **Compliance:** Implement missing labels for screenreaders and fix link titles/Alt-text for markers to ensure full accessibility compliance.

**3. Tracking & SEO**

- **Analytics:** Set up and fix Matomo tracking for unique visitors and pageviews.

- **SEO:** Correct Sitemap definitions for `DiscussionForumPosting`.

### **Technical Requirements**

- **Backend:** Expert knowledge of Ruby on Rails (Discourse core) and PostgreSQL.

- **Frontend:** Proficiency in JavaScript/Ember.js.

- **DevOps:** Experience with Docker, Caddy, and self-hosted n8n instances.

- **Integrations:** Deep understanding of Webhook signatures and SSO.

### **Timeline & Budget**

- **Timeline:** ASAP. We want to start immediately and have these issues resolved within the next few weeks.

- **Budget:**  **$3,000 – $5,000 USD** (depending on experience and speed of execution).

### **How to Apply**

Please send a PM or reply with:

1. A brief overview of your experience with Discourse migrations and custom plugin development.

2. Your current availability to start.
