= !BluePrint: Update Projects interface to meet Occupy's needs =
[[TOC]]

== Description ==

The Occupy projects team is currently using a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/14P57OQBQ71WF3Bjjm-WoEd0G4tr0J-TtUrF6DqU2ZuE/edit# Google Form] to capture information about projects. The Sahana Projects system seems to be designed to capture information about work done on internal projects -- the question is whether we can use it to define future projects for which volunteers & services are needed, etc.

This is how it seems the fields in the Google form map to existing database objects:

     - Project name: project name
     - Project blurb: short activity description
     - Project description: project description
     - Organization: lead implementor
     - Location: activity location
     - Services needed: tasks, assigned to service leads (tech, volunteers, grants, budget)
     - Private contact information: reference to project lead
     - Public contact info: who people should get in touch with if they're interested in helping (could just go in description)

These are fields that don't seem to have an analog in Sahana's models:

     - Project (Activity?) category: new model with entries like distribution, food, etc.
     - Media link: url to Youtube site, etc.
     - Project partners: individuals and org references

== Use-Cases ==

A project team member would create a new project and associated activities. They would create tasks for services they need, assigned to the people who lead those services (tech, volunteers, funding, etc.). Activity/project info would be publicly accessible to people interested in volunteering on specific activities. Project team members could view information about all ongoing and planned projects.

== Requirements ==

    - A new activity category model
    - Media link and project partners fields added to activity model
    - A new (non-editable) view of individual projects and existing activities
    - A new public project list and individual project views

== Design ==

(See requirements.)
