Fall 2006 Independent Study: Project Ideas

Trinity Community Service Volunteer Module

 * Client: Trinity Community Service and Civic Engangement Office&#8212;Mr. Joseph Barber
 * Location: Hartford, CT

Develop an automated, customizable, Sahana instance to manage volunteer projects for the office of CSCE at Trinity. The finished product should include a web-based interface that would allow an administrator to easily construct an instance for a new project and a new set of volunteers.

Formato EDAN &#8212; 72 Horas

 * Client: Honduran CARE Organization
 * Location: Honduras

Create a bi-lingual data-entry form, in Spanish and English, based on the model provided by the organization. A key part of this project would be learning how to use Sahana's language localization features. A possible contribution to Sahana would involve documenting how to build a localized product for the Sahana community.

Volunteer Module User and Programmer Guides

 * Client: Trinity Sahana Team&#8212;R. Morelli

Create readable and useful web-based guides for the volunteer modules that were build over the summer. These would be made available on our web site and also on the main Sahana site. A possible contribution to Sahana would be to develop a publishable set of guidelines and standards for preparing a user and programmer guide for Sahana modules.

Batch Data Upload and Download

 * Client: Trinity Sahana Team&#8212;H. Ellis

Design and develop a batch-processing utility to upload and download data to and from the Sahana database. This project should take into account some of the privacy and anonymity issues and restrictions involved in processing personal data.

Volunteer Module Feedback Form

 * Client: Trinity Sahana Team&#8212;T. De Lanerolle

Design and develop a web-based evaluation form for the volunteer management module. This form would be used by an organization that was using that module and would provide feedback to development team. A possible contribution to Sahana would be to develop a generalized feedback system that could be used with any part of the system.

Upgrading the Existing VR and VM Modules

 * Client: Trinity Sahana Team&#8212;J. Damon

Upgrade various features of the existing VM and VR modules, such as the search feature, the messaging system, and other parts.
