Quicker than quick!

I've just spent 2 days at a YMCA development conference, breaking bread
with fundraisers and spying on all of the proprietary software vendors. I
encourage everyone who does not currently have a relationship with a
nonprofit/charity to do this. It is well worth getting a peak at the
requirement from their side; and let me tell you that cultivation of
donors is key to getting their funding. Calendula shall be key to this
process.

So here are a few quick details requested by Thomas:

Calendula Project:

https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/calendula/

Calendula is part of the gnu project.

Developers can get accounts here and receive contributor status. This is
also the easiest way to view and access the cvs repository. This will
change again and again, of course. Please visit and get an account. This
will be your first step.

In CVS you will find:

REQ -- requirements doc
ROADMAP - skeletal
survey_questions -- survey for end-users
universal_article - the business case article for Calendula
database - directory
   contains: db schema in postgres format,
             OpenOffice diagram of the db tables.

All of this needs updating and warts removed.

Calendula Development mailing list:

http://list.fudosys.com/mailman/listinfo/calendula-devel

UI workflow diagram can be viewed at:

I will be adding it to CVS soon.

Here is the list of potential coders:

Me
Creede L.
Thomas P.
David G.

And potential collaborators from DicipleMakers:

Matthew P.
Jason M.
Tom H.
Brian R.

Some arms may need twisting from the list above.

Now regarding the context of the database migration discussion I started
it simply to get an idea of a possible migration path and how this would
impact the early stages of the project. We will revisit it later on.

I don't want anyone to feel stuck or lost. Squeaky wheels will get greased.

If no one but Tom P. is going to N-TEN, we could schedule a conference
call to act on "who owns what".

And I could get started with Mr. Project....
