Membership Database/Editing

From PCSAR

Revision as of 21:34, 3 May 2014

The Membership Database is edited by Dick Burnham. Other people that have done this task: Adam Grose, Brett Wuth, BobCosta.

He uses

• the changes that members make to their personnel record sheets at regular meetings
• event/course sign-in sheets which are passed to him
• individual changes which are e-mailed to him.

Process

Edit the membership records on the secure part of the wiki.

• existing membership records
• See formatting instructions for the kinds of changes to make.
• new members or applicants should be added in a similar fashion, namely
  • On your personal page, or in a Sandbox add the line:

    * {{member|John Doe}}

    using the person's name instead of John Doe.

  • Follow the link to the new member's page. You should be in the edit box, with a blank template ready to be filled in.
  • Fill in the information and save the page.
  • Further, when you get a new membership record form, I recommend that you keep the original in the binder (filed by name), so if for whatever reason I don't get to process the membership database, the new member can continue to update their original form as if it was a printed sheet.

• Activities lists the activities we have had

• update membership statuses
  • Any changes (e.g. an applicant becoming an associate member) should be added, not deleting the old membership information. This is a requirement of the Alberta Society Act.
  • check list of newly approved members

• review any e-mailed updates (done to 23:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC))
• Review Brett's copy of the call-out list
• Review the call-out list in the membership binder
• Review the personnel records in the membership binder

Brett Wuth has abandoned development of a java application for structured editing of the database using a graphical user interface (MembershipDatabaseEditorTask).
