== By Iteration ==
 
 
=== Iteration 0 ===
 
 
Code cleanup / preparation:
 
* make it run with error reporting on
 
  error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
 
* put as many items as possible into functions and/or objects
 
* set it up as SSL
 
 
=== Iteration 1 ===
 
 
Usability improvements for admin
 
* In "View entries of user DB", provide a checkbox to each entry for easy "mass actions", and a check-all button. The following mass actions will be available:
 
** "delete" (with confirmation)
 
** "membership card sent"
 
** "paid this year"
 
** "CSV list of checked users"
 
** "Latex mailing include of checked users" (template, see below)
 
* In the view for individual user
 
** provide "Delete this user" button (with confirmation)
 
** provide "Paid membership card for this year" button (with some indication whether already set)
 
** provide "Membership card sent for this year" button (with some indication whether already set)
 
* In "Edit payments" provide the option to edit and delete existing payments (for instance, if a typo was made in year)
 
* Some new views. These views should have same mass actions as "View all entries view" described above
 
** "all users who have paid this year, and whose membership card was not yet sent".
 
** "all users who have paid this year or last year"
 
** "all users who don't have a post address"
 
** "all users who never paid"
 
* The implementation of the views should be modular, so that it easy enough to add some more (function that takes a title and
 
parts of select statement that choses the users to be displayed).
 
* Remove "Modify entries", "Edit payments" and "Download CSV list": indeed, these functions are now more easily accessible from the views.
 
* Sort order of views can be changed (by clicking on the relevant column header)
 
* Add male/female column (useful for proper "Anrede" in mailings)
 
 
Example of Latex mailing template:
 
  \adrentry{Paul}{Muller}{42, rue de la vallée \\ L-4242 Hannerkléngwäinhäffen}{m}
 
  \adrentry{Marie}{Gelatine}{19, rue de la forge \\ L-1234 Knapphouschent}{f}
 
 
=== Iteration 2 ===
 
 
Access by the user himself to his records
 
* User can request a password to be sent to him to his e-mail address
 
** This can be sent right at registration
 
** At a later time, user may request password by pseudo or by e-mail
 
* User can use this password to view his own record
 
* User can change his password
 
* New views (for admin):
 
** users with un-confirmed email
 
** users with confirmed email
 
* New fields:
 
** Exact date when payment (and extrait number) was received
 
* Date of payment visible to member himself, extrait number should only be visible for admin
 
* Support for more than one payment per year
 
* Management of "in kind" contribution (such as, helping at an event)
 
 
 
Note: Extrait number is useful to more easily help confirm at a later date that we didn't do a mistake.
 
 
=== Iteration 3 ===
 
 
LDAP integration
 
* New users should automatically be created in LDAP
 
* Admin can "confirm" users, and grant them certain privileges
 
** local Unix account
 
** mail
 
** ...
 
* Unconfirmed users should not be able to log in, and should not have any other rights on the system.
 
* New view:
 
** Unconfirmed users
 
** Confirmed users
 
 
Note: confirmation by the admin is something different than confirmation of the e-mail address (which just proves that user can receive e-mail at that address)
 
 
=== Iteration 4 ===
 
 
More usability:
 
 
* Admin may define new views in GUI (by supplying a title, and part of an SQL statement that selects the wanted users)
 
* Persistent user sets (after having ticked a number of user, admin may save this as a set for use on a later date)
 
* Admin may define new output formats (in addition to CSV and Latex mailing list)
 
* More than one admin
 
* Admin with read-only (or otherwise restricted) rights
 
* In case of multiple admins, each admin may chose whether additional views and output formats only apply to him or to all admins as well.
 
 
=== Iteration 5 ===
 
 
Multiple clubs:
 
 
* Admin of a club may only view his own members
 
* There is a super admin who sees all clubs/defines new clubs.
 
* For views and output formats, there are now 3 levels of scope:
 
** all admins of all clubs
 
** admins of same club
 
** only that admin himself
 
 
Note: If need arises, we may put this iteration somewhat earlier in the schedule.

Analysis

what do we have as software?

  • a php script

what are the functions in the software?

what is the need for the new software?

which are the functions needed?

  • list printing of groups / activities / ...
  • printing of membership cards
  • use mail adresses in mailman
  • unlimited creation for groups / activities

Requirements

general requirements

  • manage membership easily
  • assigne members to a group / to a activity

Requirements from LiLux

Existing software/tools

suggestions:

LDAP

  • user data, can be standard schema + whatever we may additionally need
  • would facilitate SSO functionalities, incl. integration with misc tools such as CMS, Wiki, shell access, ...
  • not complicated to set up and get running
  • tutorial available for instance from LinuxDays 2003, server tutorial
  • LDAP can be frontend to SQL database
