Intergrating CiviCRM for Online Shool Directory

A quick jot down draft/draft. Please expect this page to change soon, and become far more detailed/formal after a few more discussions with project participants)

(from a thread at http://groups.drupal.org/node/9629)

Here is a quick draft use-case:

Users:

-Site adminsitrators

-Parents

-Taxpayers (people who pay taxes but do not have students in school)

Site Administrators:

• Monitor site content according rules/guidlines

• Assist users with technical issues.

Site admin responsibilities enabled by Drupal's built in core tools, possible add-on modules (to be detailed in new draft)

Parents use the site to:

-Share date/knowledge information (enabled via http://drupal.org/project/og, http://drupal.org/project/wikitools, custom content types http://drupal.org/project/cck, http://drupal.org/project/userlinks, and taxonomy)

-Organize events (presumably enabled via CiviEvent)

-Organize letter-writing/email writing/calling, or other political action campaigns (enabled possibly by http://drupal.org/project/signit module, http://drupal.org/project/civinodes, CiviMail, other ?? still researching, suggestions appreciated, will be rolled into future drafts of this document and shared)

• Collect donation moneys (presumably enabled by CiviContribute)

• Participate in collective decision making about group activities (probably enabled via http://drupal.org/project/advpoll and http://aboutus.org/ConsensusPolling method)

Taxpayers use the site to:

-Share date/knowledge information (enabled via same as above)

-Organize events (presumably enabled via CiviEvent)

-Organize letter-writing/email writing/calling, or other political action campaigns (enabled by same as above)

Open questions (some of which will be answered upon testing CiviCRM with Drupal)

• How will Drupal's Built in profile system work with the personal data collected via CiviCRM? (it's possible we might use Advanced Profile, with Panels/Views, too)
