Thinking about it, one basic thing I find surprising about the marketing
project is that the main resource is the volunteers yet there is no
knowledge of what skills are available other than what comes up in
discussion. Seems to me that it would be relatively easy to set up a
database of the skills, qualifications and experience of volunteers and
instead of just making some general request on a list ask specific
individuals to do specific tasks. Ok, they might choose to say no but I
would think its far more likely more would get done. People often don't
like to seem pushy so if no-one asks them they won't do anything.
I think it's a good idea.
I suggest extending the idea so the database will also contain
sub-projects and activities in the marketing project that are waiting
for volunteers. Maybe it could in fact be a project management tool that
kept track of the status of all sub-projects and activities and kept an
overview of who's currently doing what. Maybe a web-based tool suitable
for this already exists as an open source product...I guess i does...
