We started work on the Kabissa project in full swing early last week. This basically adds a few more enhanced features to managing contacts of an organization. You can find the full specs and description on our Kabissa - CiviCRM Project Specifications wiki page.
The project is based on CiviCRM v1.8. It builds on some on our other consulting projects and will add a Kabissa Component to CiviCRM and a Drupal module. This combination will allow us to
- Build an application form that potential members fill out that goes through an approval workflow before being labelled as a member
- Allow contacts "related" to the organization at a "admin level" to edit the information about the organization (the application information and more)
- Display all member organization as profiles with detailed information including drupal content (blog entries, news articles)
- Allow members to contact each other via email web forms (i.e. hide the underlying email address)
- Integrate Drupal search and CiviCRM search and show results from both systems
- Integrate Drupal taxonomy with CiviCRM contacts
We hope to generalize and use a lot of the code above for other consulting projects and in the main CiviCRM code base at some point. I suspect quite a few of the components above will be of interest to other folks. If so, please do read the specs and comment on them. Feedback on how we could generalize the specs to make it more useful and relevant to a larger group of people would be great. As always our deadline is quite aggressive and we hope to finish a large part of the development in the next few weeks
Comments
Generalisation of Kabissa Project
I was wondering how the generalisation of the Kabissa code was going and whether it might be available as a beta release in the near future?
Not on our current roadmap ..
due to time / resource / budget constraints, this is not part of our short/medium term roadmap. We expect the project to take anywhere between 75-150 hours and hope that it will be part of a consulting arrangement with some organization at some time

Generalisation of Kabissa Project
What does 75 - 150 hours translate to in terms of dollars (US or Australian)?
