History for MemberShip

??changed:

Membership, the foundation.

 It is no suprise that I am using the Membership Product I maintain.
 Indeed, this is one of the reasons I have done the work on Membership 
 that I have. Currently, it is using the 0.6 release, but will be upgraded to 0.7.0
 by the end of the week.

The Needs of the Existing Structure

 The Linux in Boise Club has a membership process and roster.
 With the membership comes membership on the site. Maintenance
 of the roster, it was decided, would be done in Zope, using the ZODB.
 If we feel the need, we can develop a GUI-ified, Linux based non-HTML 
 app to continue, but that will likely just happen for fun.

 Thus, we needed to have a system where not just anyone can join, we 
 have another site that provides that. In that light, LiBC's website is 
 more of a community site, than a portal site.

The Structure of the User System

 Though it is a community site, I decided to implement a non-user folder 
 based system. We will be offering members and contributors the ability 
 to add certain types of objects. However, I want to keep the site 
 consistent between member changes, IOW, if a member leaves, or changes 
 their name, it should not go breaking links.
