This thread keeps track of what various volunteers do on the website. Everytime a volunteer does something that might affect other volunteers work, post it here.

If you fix a typo, no need to post here.
If you translate an article, no need to post here.

If you create a new forum, post here.
If you open a new language, post here

And so on...

Created volunteers forum threads

I created one thread for users to report issues, one thread for users to suggest improvements, and one thread for volunteers to post what they're doing.

All volunteers, please subscribe to this forums in whatever way you wish (I'll use RSS), so that the questions can be answered as fast as possible.

Created a "timeline" category

This category allows us to set if a content is related only to 789 or to this years edition or even 888.

It will make it easy to avoid displaying outdated information. Let's avoid having hitchhikers waiting for us in Odessa for 6/8/10.

New "recent comments" block

I made a new "recent comments" block that doesn't display the posts to the "coordination" container.

This post is a test actually :)

New "New forum topics" block

This one is doesn't show all the volunteer topics. I edited the previous view instead of creating a new one.

New view for organization trafic

I created a new block to show what's happening in the organization forum. You can see it bellow the "recent comment" block (that is designed so that it does not show boring organization stuff).

I failed two things, please someone else fix it:

1) It only displays replies to forum posts, not original forum posts.
2) I created an associated RSS view that does the exact opposite: Shows only the original forum posts but not the replies, which renders it completely useless.

PS: When it's fixed, can you email me why it didn't work?

there was a conflict with a small module called comment_upload that prevented anyone from saving a comment. So I got rid of that module just now and everything works fine again.

Activated "create new revision" by default.

On the content types:

pages
event
newsletter
story

Now everytime someone edits one of those contents, it will create a new revision, which will allow other users to compare newer and older version and allow them to revert mistakes and vandalism.
