Community Enhancements for GNONUG

Posted by on Monday, June 23, 2003 (PST)

I compiled a short list of enhancements that I think we should attempt to implement for our GNONUG community 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
  • WebRing interface for yahoo and other webrings
