    This may overlap, but here it is. We need more crm like functionality. Discussion has occurred, but nothing definitive. Thoughts?

    As in primarily a way to store and display information that any “approved” user can post through a web-form?
    If so,it makes good sense. I know (and you probably no) Wordpress has that built in, it would just need to be decided:
    1) who gets “permission”?
    2) what can and can’t be put up?
    3) where those postings go based on content and/or intent of the poster?
    I put “allowed” and “permission” in quotes, because I usually work on projects for commercial clients, who always just want very restricted user to be able to post very specific things to specific places on their sites – right down to the pixel. This is how I usually look at things, but don’t want to do anything that pushes this approach over letting whoever feels their voice needs to be heard on any topic involve Occupy Atlanta – more in the spirit of the movement, freedom and the General Assembly.
    At the same time, the ~purpose~ of the site for Atlanta needs to be kept clear and straightforward, and even if we had a no-restrictions policy on who can post and where, it would be best to have the “free for all” areas be secondary pages – there, available and linked, but the primary pages be focused on what needs to be said, which the top nav is pretty close to:
    Home, Resources, LiveStream, General Assembly, Contact & Communicate, About, How To, Help, Events. Off of those, we can have the more Open areas, keep a little moderation in case anyone posts illegal or legally-tricky things (threats of violence and negative crime, porn/grotesque imagery, SPAM), but otherwise, even if someone is trolling, we the people should learn how to manage “trolls” unless they prove to be too successfully disruptive or dangerous.
