Site: Volunteers tasks and collaboration

SonShine's picture

The Purpose of this group is to post the various Volunteer tasks and support Volunteers.  

Every volunteer should be a member of this Group

God has blessed us with many people coming forward and volunteering.  If you are interested in volunteering go to Volunteer Opportunities and fill out the volunteer application form which will enter you into the system. When that is complete return here and select a task you would like to help on or you can post ideas that you think would be helpful as a suggested new task.

 You were asked to create an account on the forum and to introduce yourself on forum  section 7-Bible.org Volunteer tasks and community Discussion  We will use this group to discuss tasks and the forum 7 in interact in a more peronal way and to help each other with problems that come up. For example: if you think that translation is your thing, what languages do you know that you could share and what articles do you think would be the best for your people.

We are still experimenting with the best way to assign tasks to our volunteers and collaborate with them. This week (9/13/09) we decided to use this group function for staff and volunteers to better facilitate the interaction and collaboration. 

  1.  Answer volunteer questions
  2.  To suggest new tasks
  3.  Volunteers to respond to a task
  4.  Staff to interact with other staff as well as interact with volunteers working on that task.

Instructions for posting in this group.

to staff and volunteers  ( As people volunteer, the  volunteer coordinator enters them into a spreadsheet: see  Volunteer Status & Assignments.)

  • For each task- make a new single group
    • To ask questions about a task - make a comment on each task
    • volunteer if you want to work on a task make a comment
  • To ask a question - make a new group post

TECH (assigned): - Look at how to do phpbb and Drupal integration.

 Our site uses both drupal for bible.org and users and phpbb for the http://forum.bible.org

as most of you know you have to log on to each seperately. It would be good if we could have a single log on for those systems.. and at least intregrte the logon and some of the profile information as we have between users.bible.org and bible.org itself

if you would like to study this and possibly work on it let us know

here are some links of phpbb and Drupal integration. information

Tech (Assigned) Single sign on between the forum, the ticket system and the borg sites

our new users are confused when they have to sign on to the various sites

this is because they use diferent software programs

the borg and users sites are drupal and

the ticket system is redmine..

 It is our wish that this site be family and kid safe and that the users of this site will take responsibility for manageing the site and weeding out perverts and bad actors who willfully disregard the culture of this Christian community as well as the rules of engagement for posting
