Most everyone suggested a “Previous Segment” and “Next Segment” button 
on the on-air and pledge entry screens that would take you to the next 
consecutive segments – a one click change would make those top of the hour 
transitions much easier on the producer who has to set up a break in about 3 
minutes.

Do you have any links to documentation on exactly how the tracker should 
work? I think it might help in sharing this with station colleagues.

How much will adding a new user (to the poduction app) impact the pricing on 
GAE?

Is this process scalable?

Should this be more automated?  Is this something that a user should be able to 
do?

There should be an option to display only names in the On-air view.

A possible approach would be to set a session variable for each pledge drive to 
surpress displaying the pledge amounts of listeners along with their names.  
This prevents announcers from making judgements about listeners themselves.

Any others?

1.  When preparing for an upcoming pledge drive, if this drive is similar to 
a previous drive. 
2.  Could it be possible to create a duplicate of a past pledge drive?
3.  Would it be possible to change the start-date / end-date and to NOT copy 
any of the pledges (thus starting out with a clean slate) for a new pledge 
drive?

A few people want date/time stamps on the producer messages if possible. 
Sometimes it gets confusing for folks. 

In the refresh/post_list widget

Create a link to "Edit posts" which takes you to a listing of all of the posts

This is similar to the link to "Edit pledges" on the refresh/pledge_list

I like how list_organizations allows for the editing of organizations.  I'd 
like to look at how this kind of optimization could be implemented across other 
tables.

I also like the heading Manage Organizations in that it's general enough to 
cover a range of actions.  If we incorporate enough functionality in the 
list_organizations page, can the links to View Currently Selected Organization 
and Edit Selected Organization be consolidated onto this page and then removed 
from the main page?

Tell me, is the heading for "Create Organization" a little too large?  I didn't 
realize it was a link.

it seemed like I needed to add a challenge to get things going, but we don't 
often have them. If it's not possible to skip that, it probably should be.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I typed a message into the producer messages form.
2. I didn't see the messages show up in the producer messages box.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see a message show up.  Saw nothing.

* for forms using an auto submit for selection lists, should we then remove the 
"submit" button on the forms?

* Should this be uniform across all selection lists that require only a single 
selection?

* Should we do an inventory of other forms, like default/report_single_segment 
and make a list of forms that might need to be changed?

1. Add a template for models/mail.py using the settings:

mail.settings.server='gae'
mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]'         # your email
mail.settings.login='yourusername:yourpassword'      # your credentials or 
None
auth.settings.mailer=mail                    # for user email verification

Note: Are there restrictions on GAE for which email account you can use to 
send email?  If so, where to find this information, GAE control panel?

Finish writing a complete set of unit tests / doctests whichever works best and 
is most maintainable.

See the web2py user group for the current state of testing in web2py.  Also 
check email exchange with Johnathan Lundell

Is it possible to get xml data from Pledge Tracker?

It would be useful for a user to Export / Import individual pledge drives. 

Would this involve using uuids as indexes for the tables?

Would a workaround instead be to have a single user per pledge tracker 
application?

When a person logs in for the first time, they are asked to submit
three or so forms  and once the form is submitted, a session variable
is created.  However, (the first time they submit these forms) after
each form is submitted, they are automatically logged out of the app.

If a person logs back in after each time they are booted off, then
elects the value that they previously entered (via the selection list)
for Organization, Pledgedrive and then Segment... after they get
through these steps they are set, and they never get booted off the
system again.

This only happens the first time they login.  After these session
variables are set, they never get booted off the system again.

You can see the code for building the forms and setting the variables here:

create_organization:
http://code.google.com/p/pledgedrivetracker/source/browse/pledgedrives/cont
rollers/default.py#233

Note: session.organization=dict(form.vars)
and
session.organization_id = dict(form.vars)['id']

create_pledgedrive:
http://code.google.com/p/pledgedrivetracker/source/browse/pledgedrives/cont
rollers/default.py#374

create_segment:
http://code.google.com/p/pledgedrivetracker/source/browse/pledgedrives/cont
rollers/default.py#476

In /models/db_pledgedrive.py changing the properties for 
Field('read', 'boolean',default=False)
to
Field('read', 'boolean',default=False, readable=False, writable=False)
Prevents the read to be visible, so it cannot be changed in the edit form.

If a post or pledge is marked read = true, there should be a way to undo this 
change if it is made in error.

Ryan at KUNC said "I wonder if there is a way to edit the titles and goals from 
the segment list page, instead of editing each segment from its individual page"

If I adjust the font size in the /refresh views to show three columns of 
widgets, when I return to the home screen, the top of the two columns for 
"views" and "setup" do not align.

I like where you are going with the all_pledges function.  I'm still looking 
into how this works, but I like the consolidation and the benefits to the user.

However, when I click on "edit pedges" (note typo) from the on-air screen or 
pledge entry screen (via refresh/pledge_list) I receive the error:
invalid view (default/all_pledges.html)
(add to bug tracker)

Note, the edit pledges link should display a listing of the pledges for the 
currently selected segment (not all pledges for the entire drive).  Perhaps the 
link should read "edit pledges for the current segment"

Some kind of import for the schedule would be immensely helpful; we've got 
something like 100 shows on the air, so that's a lot of data entry to get 
going.  The good news is that could happen over the course of the drive (add 
tomorrow's shows today, etc), and I know setting up an import would be a 
whole other can of worms.

Description to follow.

When someone deletes data that is linked to another table, does this make the 
database unstable.  For instance, if someone deletes a row in the pledgedrive 
table,what about all the pledges or other data that links to that table... 
should these be deleted too?

I vaguely recall when creating an application using the web2py wizard, that 
they had built in a "deactivate" property as opposed to outright deleting 
something.  I could be wrong, but I want to be sure.
