here's my summary and comments... put it up on the forum:
Statistics:
I have now added a mark for non-Bahá'ís which can be sorted by. What do you think of changing name on this to "Overview", "Summary" or something like that?
The small boxes in the bottom can be used to filter a bit more, for example to find people who have gone either one or another course (the option "Or", middle row), or haven't gone through a course ("Not", bottom row)
I'd like you to think about how it can be improved in the future, when the lists will probably be much larger than they are today. Would it for example be interesting to have more advanced/detailed information where address, e-mail, etc is showing?
Studycircle:
Now you can set the date from when all circles started/finished after should appear.
I have found some old circles which I have added, but I had very few... the statistics in the past was slightly insufficient when it came to keeping track of exactly when circles were happening.
Cluster report:
The pyramid is now up, you can see it if you click your specific cluster and then "Show pyramid".
Remember that the diagrams only show people that have *finished* a course. If you want the addition of people who are currently active or something similar, let me know. The problem is that the diagram might not be as nice and easy to see, but I can take a look at it.
When it comes to the history it works in such a way that every month all data is automatically saved for all clusters. Beyond this you can choose when you want to save current data, for example before a reflection meeting or when a report is to be done to SBI.
Links and documents:
The mega document will probably be split up into five smaller documents, to be easier to handle. Reflections on Growth is a part of that document now.
I also added a few new links, documents and presentations. Feel free to take a look there, there might be a couple of usable stuff. If you discover something new, don't hesitate to send to me.
There is also a small statistical report over all clusters in Sweden that have a coordinator, together with all others put together into one cluster. You can contact the koordinators if you want them something through there.
New function:
Report interest: It is now possible to report interest to go a studycircle. This is done at www.bahai.se/sbi/rapport, choosing "Report interest to go a course". Encourage the friends in your clusters to do this, since it will probably ease your work quite a lot. You won't have to read peoples's thoughts :)
Possible studycircles: This is a continuation on report interest. When three or more people have reported their interest for a course where time, book and cluster matchen, the possible studycircle is shown. There you can see all participants, what options they have chosen and their comments. At the same time you see a list of all tutors in the cluster, whether they're free or not, and you can click on the person and send a mail. You can also add a comment if there is anything.
Mail: There is now a mail fuction! It is not *completely* finished yet, so if there is anything else you want me to add, let me know!
Now you can mail:
- people who have finished book x
- all tutors in your clusters (ie those who have completed book 7)
- the national coordinator (negin)
- sbi
- the administrator (me)
It is very important that you update people's e-mail addresses, otherwise this function will be a bit pointless... it is especially important that you update people who are or are about to become tutors. We are also thinking of letting the system automatically send a "congratulation mail" to all new tutors, but we haven't decided that yet.
The Excel sheets:
It gladdens me that almost everyone has gone from the Excel sheets to using this, it means that it works!
Security:
There is a complete backup taken of the entire database every day, so if anything should totally crash there is the possibility of restoring the information quite easily. I have also spread out the backup data to a couple of independent places, so the risk of totally losing everything gets as minimal as possible.
I will also work a bit later on fixing the things when it comes to the security aspects of the system. Right now it is not so limited, it is possible to do basically whatever you want as long as you know how to. It will be fixed soon.
Other:
It gladdens me that you are so very positive to the entire project, it is really encouraging and inspiring! However, I have a request, and that is that you really point out things that don't work and things that you want to be developed and changed. Partly for your own sake, and partly for my project.
The future:
What's happening next? I'm going to take a proper look at a print function, which I will hopefully get to work. No guarantee though, since it is quite hard to get to work. Already now it goes quite well to just print the pages, but it can always be better.
The goal is that the forum should be the way that we're all staying active. I will successively stop sending mails and only use "Message of the day" and the forums for communication.
Next week it's another week of evaluation, and then it's the final implementation phase. Then, dear friends, it's over... :)
