At the April sprint, several of us discussed improvements to CiviCRM’s soft credit functionality. For those of us who use CiviCRM for fundraising, soft credits are vital component of managing donor relationships, and there are several ways CiviCRM could be improved to make soft credits more robust and easier to use.
Thanks to Kellie Brownell and Jane Hanley for their contributions to this blog post.

The Google Map on the Event Info page takes up valuable space: is a simple link to the map adequate?
Here at Third Sector Design we're preparing for our next meet up which will take place on Wed 9th in Central London. The last one was excellent, with lots of people and 3 really interesting presentations on a wide range of topics.
This time we're going to be focusing on:
* CiviMobile - a new mobile app for CiviCRM
* Making CiviCRM webcasts
* CiviCRM case studies
The CiviCRM Drush integration recently got a fairly major refactoring (issue CRM-9986), and should be available with the CiviCRM 4.2 release.
For years, I've wanted to give back to the open source communities I'm a part of. Often I'm told, "Write code." More than any other project I've seen, CiviCRM has created alternative ways of contributing back. At the code sprint, I met people brand new to CiviCRM contribute meaningfully by proposing (and critiquing) workflows for new features, create how-to screencasts, and more.
CiviCRM team is pleased to announce the next stable release of version 4.1 - with support for Drupal 7, Drupal 6, Joomla 1.7/2.5, and Wordpress 3.3. You can download the release now from Sourceforge.

Report back from CiviCon and a code-sprintette

We are currently working with an organisation that has a staff member that accesses their machine using a screen reader only (he uses Jaws). He has been working hard to see which core bits of CiviCRM (4.1.x on Drupal 7) he can access and has fantastically been working with us to feedback. In some instances we have been able to hardcode in menu links etc to increase his level of access.
