General Business:

Webkeeping

  • Guest star donald, in the house

    • Donald has been tinkering away building a new website/library/membership database for us
    • Membership database:
      • Has approached us with some questions regarding member information - what to store, and for how long
      • Alistair: Our updated policy is that things are going to get removed after 2 years, if membership is not renewed
      • Anyone who is not a member can contact us directly to get their details removed then and there
      • For members: we need an email and phone number on signup. We only need home address for library borrows, so that is only collected on borrowing forms
      • What about library records?
      • Should be options to hold onto library records, and to delete them
      • Who should be able to see data?
      • Gatekeepers can see lists of names, committee can see member contact info
      • The hidden mobile numbers would really only be relevant in the uncommon situations where a person isn't readily available on facebook/discord
      • Who should be able to access notes on members?
      • It can be case by case. We have the option to log records of when users have looked up private notes
      • Gatekeepers should be able to look up library data to figure out where our books are
      • Donald is expecting to have this deployed and ready to go by O-DAY (!!!!!!)
      • Donald proposes the very first Unigames all-digital o-day
      • We would still have paper signups as a backup
    • Library database:
      • Donald's ideal is that any gatekeeper can borrow out books using a webapp instead of touching the borrowing book at all
      • Would the club be willing to invest in a little tablet dedicated to this?
      • It would otherwise be very reasonable to expect gatekeepers to use their own device, this can be incorporated into the signup process
      • Donald demoes the library webapp to us, what webkeepers would use
      • Proposal to splat buy "; DROP TABLE Books"
      • We learn about all the tags like Dungeons and Dragons, Unborrowable, etc
      • When can we start adding items to the library? When it's ready. The database side is filled out, the borrowing forms are in the works
    • Archives
      • We were keen on an archive to serve as a reliable record
      • We can have the option to hide different files from different people
      • Donald could put effort into a web interface or we could keep using cyberduck
    • Wishlist (future things that we could do maybe)
      • In an effort to get the club's infrastructure off facebook: A calendar and events system
      • We could input events, include information, toggle visiblilty, and send out reminders
      • Something like a blog!
      • Discord integration: Automatically post calendar/blog updates to the server
    • Donald immortalises himself as the unigames website and thus will never leave the club
