- User Specification: This document

See also the New Module Development tutorial as this is new functionality for Py:
Keep it real simple to start with - get something usable quickly, which we can then refine later if we gets needs to do so.

- You can update task status, or re-assign to another person
Started a "self service" menu for volunteers, currently just "My Tasks" but more to follow. However, that doesn't mean that every volunteer needs a user account - you can manage projects, tasks and volunteers without user accounts, and you can share this information across multiple instances without needing to register every volunteer as user on each instance.
Of course are any Person Registry information about volunteers also available in the Volunteer Module, such as:
- Contact Information
- Addresses
- Identity Information
ToDo

- Org's can take ownership of positions, and set a payment rate
- Tasks will no longer be assigned to individuals, but to positions
- You can register how many hours a volunteer has spent in which position
- You can obtain reports of working hours per volunteer
- You can register resources (skills, tools etc.) to a volunteer
- You can add resource constraints to tasks
- resources and constraints will be used to auto-match volunteers and positions
