GNONUG Community Site
Posted: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 12:33 AM (PST)

We need some volunteers to help build a list of components for the GNONUG .NET Community site. We will discuss this further at a future meeting, but I would like to get the ball rolling here.

Below is a list of things that we may want to add to our GNONUG site.

Event Reservations

Some events require a form of registration so that hosts can perform some addional functions
Count potential attendees
Make appropriate accomodations for # of reserved attendees such as pizza, drinks, etc...
Determine who registers but doesn't show for future measurements and event attendance statistics
Allow for interface with Credit Card autorization for pay events
Allow for PayPal integration

Member List

This would be something neat for special group members to be able to see member info like

Names
Emails
Locations
Topics interested in
Perhaps a select group can see other member email addresses

Add additional fields related to members

Meeting attendance stats
Prize stats
Book and Software Review stats
Topics of Interest

Member Book Reviews

In addition to listing .NET books we might suggest
A place for members to post their book reviews would be nice (We can do it in the comments, but that loses something when telling book publishers that we posted a review)

Raffles and Door Prizes

Track members in attendance
Allow for advanced prize entry
Track who wins a prize
Track who needs to review a prize (book or software)
Track who sent prizes (publisher, vendor, etc...)
Generate thank you emails for vendors

Membership login stats

Track which members are using the site

Event slide show upload

We might be able to use the download section, but I want an option to not place the file in the database, but in a shared location instead
We would really like to attach slides/code samples to an event somehow

Comment Moderation doesn't work

I haven't looked at this in the newest version, but when someone added a post in our discussion thread, we could delete it
If someone added a comment; however, we couldn't simply delete the comment without going into the Community Database directly
Moderators need a way to remove bad comments without affecting the original discussion thread

Hi Manny,

During our meeting tonite, I noticed that the Raffles and Door Prizes topic came up. Is this something that I could set as a priority to have in place for the July 12th meeting (even if we're still planning to use paper tickets)? Keep in mind the comments below:

Since I've already downloaded the community starter kit, and it appears that I have MSDE installed, I think we might be ready to roll.

We basically need a small table to add prizes then when someone gets awarded them, have a place to log it.

Unfortunately, we don't have INET access at the Library. Go figure.

But, maybe you can build a small .NET app that uploads to the community who won what and which items need evals etc...

Later,

manny

No INET!

Well, that little app will have to do. Take care.
