With the rise of importance of social networks, and the sheer number of them, there has been development of a number of "listening" tools, which aggregate people's activities/fans/followers/friends and try to produce useful information about what is going on.

By SarahGladstone Filed under CiviCon, CiviCRM, Documentation, Finance and AccountingI have shared the slides ( and video ) from my ignite session at CiviCon, which describes a case study of my use of CiviCRM for a synagogue, including invoicing and non-Western calendars. Everything is at my blog.

By SarahGladstone Filed under CiviCRM, DocumentationEveryone is continuing to produce an incredible amount of content for the book, plus rework and update areas that were showing some age. The new set of chapters for developers and people who want to extend CiviCRM is really fantastic. Everyone who has been wanting to extend CiviCRM, but didn't know where to start should be able to dive in. Everyone is increasing their knowledge of CiviCRM, getting ideas for new features and improving existing features.

By SarahGladstone Filed under CiviCRMThe topic of how to properly greet and send mail to couples, such as "Jane and John Doe" has been discussed many times, such as at the blog post: http://civicrm.org/node/558. But the problem with the approach in the blog ( and included in CiviCRM 3.0 ) Is it requires information about someone's spouse in their contact record and marking half on the contacts "Do not mail" even though there are times when I DO want to communicate with just one spouse or the other for different events.

By SarahGladstone Filed under CiviCRM, JoomlaCurrently Joomla + CiviCRM is great combination, except for a key missing feature: The ability to control the authorization rules for who can see what. ( Otherwise known as ACL )

Is it to much to ask that only the bookeeper can see the money? Currently anyone with access to the "Components" menu in the back-end of Joomla can see everything.
