In Fraser Henderson's introduction (welcome Fraser ... he really
cleared the way for our use of GroupServer for Democracies Online
Groups when we launched the webcasting community of practice for
ICELE's predecessor) he mentioned trouble with the search box.
I searched for "Fraser" and found a number of results (it looks like
you need to be logged into search), however I suspect there are a
handful of issues that need to be tweaked on this site.
What do folks think of a donations drive to support fine-tuning this
site and to add some features you think would further benefit this
community of practice?
At a minimum, I do know that we need to:
1. Fix the change e-mail settings option.
2. Run a script which cleans up the first name in the To: field of
web-posted comments.
At E-Democracy.Org we are in the middle of a huge transition to the
latest version of GroupServer (the .9+ version hosted at
OnlineGroups.Net). The most exciting feature for DoWire Groups is
allowing attachments to be sent via e-mail (files, photos, audio,
etc.) that are automatically stripped and placed in the file area
with a link sent to the group.
Here is an example:

If DoWire participants can chip in to some new features (we could use
Pledgebank or Fundable.Org) we could further strengthen our groups.
My main feature upgrade idea - improve the "Who's Who" member
directory list. I'd like to see four or five sortable columns of
information in the index:
Name Title Organisation City Country
So at http://groups.dowire.org/groups/consult/members you could sort
the listing by clicking on the various column titles to quickly sort
and see who is from your country for example. Our 190 names don't
tell us much about who is gathered.
What ideas do you have?
Cheers,
Steven Clift
