= Introduction = A "Work Out" is an intense period of work either focused around specific tasks or a specific event where a number of Sahanians are together (eg. a FOSS Conference). [[BR]] (Feel free to modify this definition) = Format = They could either be held in a physical location with a group of Sahanian, or virtually (perhaps over the period of a week), or a combination of both. = Proposed Work Outs = Any of these could potentially be merged... == Spring Clean == There seem to be a number of things which we could do to make the code more "beautiful", easier to read and easier to work with. This could be a good opportunity for people new to the code to get a deeper understanding of how it all works, while the more experienced can offer advise + checking). [[BR]] These ideas are just proposals... * Getting rid of the database reserved keyword warnings * Replaced repeated code with functions * A pop-up wrapper * Auto-complete widget * Easily generated tables to insert into pages * shn_get_db_field_value * shn_crud_strings * Standardized coding conventions (Naming, Indents, " vs ') * Moving imported data out of code and into csv/xml files * Adding header information to all code * Wrapping code lines so that they are readable on a single page * Documenting functions and response.s3 variables * Ensure that all cross module functionality (SMS, GIS, Email) have easily accessible, easily integrated functions, API even? * "Organisation" vs "Organization" - OK, I speak the Queen's English too, but after working for an American "Organization", I now get confused - can we just change it to "Org" in the code? * Standardize the location of code (what code should go into M,V and C..) * Extend the Restful Controller to automatically generate: Search Reports, Printable Forms, Printable Reports. == Learning the Framework == Especially for GSOC Students and Mentors * Using BZR * REST Controller * GIS This could also be a good opportunity to improve some of the documentation. Doing it while teaching the framework, identifying gaps and filling them. == GSOC Student Selection == * Some sort of workout to gauge the skills and interests of students * Could be combined with either of the top 2 workouts * Student applications must be completed by 9 April, the organization must select students by 21st April. A good time for the workout could be the week of the 12th - 18th of April * Developing a volunteer management module
