CiviCRM

I'm trying to deal w/ script "2_person_groups.sql" and I'm having a devil of a time getting through parts of this one (and I'm sure it'll happen again later on too).

I don't understand why there's a line CONCAT("Facil import: tblPerson.PersonID=", PersonID)   AS description, -- it seems to me that this pulls in a user ID number from a member and uses it as the group description. But that line makes sense in a subsequent script, so I think it might be an error due to copy and paste.

Also, the script doesn't work, at least for me at Boston.

In Portland last week, I discovered that Portland Community Media was using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) instead of plain HTTP on the web server to protect data in CiviCRM. That makes sense. In Austin, our installation of CiviCRM is on the web server, but we haven't imported data from Facil yet. This past week, among other things, we're setting up a "data import environment", i.e. another Ubuntu instance on a PC, with Drupal and CiviCRM loaded.

Last week, channelAustin participated in Denver Open Media's demo of how they use CiviCRM with the Open Media Project (http://groups.drupal.org/node/18772)

In the past two days, 4 channelAustin staff (Communications Director & Webmaster, IT Director, Training Director, and Equipment staff) worked with David Strauss from Four Kitchens (http://fourkitchens.com/) to set up CiviCRM (http://civicrm.org/), analyze table schemas in our existing Facil database (MS Access 97), determine which Facil tables and fields we want to import into CiviCRM.
