#453: Delete workspaces

ed — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:26:56 GMT

They're not as good as basecamp, we tried them two years ago and they weren't popular; we very nearly ended up forcing more users into them just now.

DELETE the workspaces before we try to use them again.

Are there any implications we need to observe?

#465: Transferring a domain to Transition Network

ed — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:34:27 GMT

#467: Documentation

ed — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:32:45 GMT

We need the following outcomes from the work:

For new technologists to be able to quickly learn:

-- the maintenance and development process, -- setting up test environments for development work, -- protocols for contributing to the wiki and the issue tracker, -- any other key skills and processes related to maintenance and development work.

Primarily target: Drupal webmasters learning the maintenance/development process, and learning to carry out production tasks (views, panels, etc).
Provide a specification/description of the site to allow advanced developers a rapid way in to working with it.
Consider Wordpress users too - with a view to Rob Hopkins moving from Wordpress into Drupal

Carrying out this work should help Mark to learn the ropes so he can continue to contribute as a technologist.
Mark will have a a sift through the TRAC tickets - may be able help especially with spam management.
There is a strict end of January deadline.

#473: Replace region option in location: from auto-complete to drop down

ed — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:51:09 GMT

Users have problems with the auto-complete; not being psychic, they don't know the range of regions on offer, so they struggle with adding regions.

Can we swap the auto-complete for a drop down of the regions they can chose? Can Ed do this?

This is small but would be much smoother.

#486: Social reporters cannot set featured story

ed — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:42:17 GMT

The social reporters cannot set the featured story for their homepage (as at point 14 on this guide: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/ed-mitchell/2012-11/editing-social-reporting-homepage).

it works fine for admin, and they need to do this themselves, so we need to fix it. Setting? Permissions?
