I don't see the purpose of cluttering the UI with features you can't use. If you go to your page in the roster tool, you can edit a few fields. Over time, you will be able to edit more. If you are a member, you can see information from members.txt, non-members can not. Similarly, in the board agenda tool, non-secretary's don't see minute taking options by default, non-directors don't see approve and flag, etc. > - Shane, about to beach vacation, so not much code for me until August. > >> >>> Trying to determine what might be missing that are currently being used >>> on Minotaur.
