LtL Technology
This group is for those who are willing to volunteer their time and skills to maintain this site as well as help develop and test new features.

{bumping this post back up top so maybe some more core members will see it --- nudge nudge. -jake}
Jake and I were talking about an Outreach meeting that would take place sometime this week. I know it's short notice, guys, but what does everyone feel about Wednesday? Maybe 7:00pm eastern? Or if that's too early for you west-coasters, we could push it to 8 or 9? Post your availability...
Dev Site
We should either move the devsite or setup a new devsite on this domain. Possibly on the subdomain dev.losethelabel.org where we can test changes before we roll them out to the live site. If we want to move the site, let me know and I'll do a couple DB dumps and e-mail them.
I require an army.
If you have some free time you'd be willing to donate and experience with *any* of the following things, please contact me. You're looking at a baseline time commitment of 1 to 4 hours per week.
- PHP programming experience (knowledge of MySQL database calls a definite plus)
- Writing applications that use the Facebook API
- Drupal development, especially module development
- group software development using a common code base and revision control system
- Cascading Stylesheets
- the Linux command-line interface (bash, tcsh, zsh, or ksh are ok)
- writing documentation
I'm not expecting you to know all of the above, and you don't have to be an expert in any of them; you just need to have some basic knowledge and be willing to learn more as you go along. The time commitment is the key part.
I would be in your esteem forever, and would probably buy you endless quantities of the vice of your choice (legal ones only, please).
invite to groups feature
Instead of having to type in the name of every person I want to invite to a group, I'd like to have all the names on my buddylist there so I can just click them and automatically invite. (like Facebook has)
It'd make it faster + it'd be an incentive for people to add people interested in the same issues to their buddylist... so a community builder that'd also be convenient for organizing.
2 feature requests
Hey Grant,
I have two feature requests.
1) A space in the forums specifically for feature requests.
2) A message all group members feature, so I can send messages to all the members of a group. Currently, you can email all members but can't do site-internal groupwide messages. Is this possible (or extremely difficult) to install? If it is, no biggie, but it'd be nice to have and I know I'd use it a lot and I'm hesitant to send out mass emails.
