A recent blog on civicrm.org, from LindseyM, is appealing for users to contribute towards the seed funding of a 'Make it Happen' iniative.
Make it Happen! enables users of civicrm to contribute to specific projects, a key driver behind improving and adding to features of the software. For a proposed feature to become a Make it Happen! initative, seed funding of a third of the overall cost of the project must first be secured.
LindseyM appeals for other users of CiviEvent to help out if the following functionality would be of use;
- create events/courses that run for a number of weeks/months eg weekly events or a course that runs for 10 weeks, three times a year
- re-use previously created schedules
- assign people to these ongoing events at any stage
- create and assign people to smaller groupings within a weekly event
- record attendance and report on this, by individual/event/small group and by week/month/course. Reporting could include mapping trends over a number of months, flagging up and emailing people who haven’t attended for a certain number of weeks etc. Reporting could also flag up children whose age means they should move up to the next group.
- hierarchy recurring events so that attendance trends can be mapped for ‘all Sunday school groups’ as well as the five age group classes within that
- record notes about an attendee on a particular week/course
give remote group leaders the ability to record attendance for their weekly groups. Report on this, reflecting current group hierarchies in Civi.
