Resources

My to do list is long and now I am collating it so you all can see what I am doing. This list is not comprehensive. It will change often. And it is not in an order of importance. : ) It's an information sharing page for you all at the Branch to be aware of what's on my radar screen...

Fix Categories
--- DONE --- undo Top Level Category being required. -- The categories still need development and fleshing out.
Set up emails
--- DONE --- go to webhost and add emails
--- DONE --- change the contact page to not be email links (this will reduce spam, which I saw yesterday was rampant.)

Add Site Contact Form Page
--- DONE --- make it reply to a feedback email.

Fix the Chat Room
--- DONE --- I am going to try another chat module... the BOWOB one is odd and I am not so sure about it. It takes a bunch of steps to update... UPDATE: I replaced the chat module to an internal one... it is likely fairly limited in the bells and whistles, but it will get us started.... and it makes an archive of the chats... Keep that in mind... This is a public forum... : )

Add calendar events to calendar
--- DONE --- I added the ActivistResource.org calendar.

Hey WILPF NY Metro women:

I have been updating the site, and then this afternoon there was a server problem for a 30 minute period (all solved, btw.) and I realized that I have some outside work to do.

So, I am going outside to mow the furry lawn...

But I will be working on the site tonight.

Dear Welcomed Visitor:

If you have scrolled this far, thank you.

Our site is brand new! WILPF New York Metro has been working on improving it over the Spring and Summer of 2008. We hope to develop it to expand exponentially our work, both in New York City, where our Branch is based, and in the rest of the world.

Our updated site will include, among many other resources:

Chat rooms -- for us to be able to check in with each other.
Online Debates-- A lively and thoughtful WILPF NY Metro Online Forum,
Events calendar -- To keep our membership informed of Branch activities.

Our Branch has been continuously operating since 1914. Nearly 95 years, WILPF women and men have been working tirelessly for a world based on the principles of valuing peace and freedom.

Now, that you're online with us... consider taking another step, or two... or three.

We hope that you will come back soon! Add our side to your bookmark bar. And, please, consider a donation.

I will be developing training materials over the next few weeks for interns and volunteers to reference as we all get used to this Content Management System website.
