Sorry for the delay - Some unforeseen things got in my way, but I'm back on track and will be finishing up some of the much-needed functionality over the next week. Thanks for your patience!

To do list for the next week - Inshallah, these features will be enabled in the next few days:

a) New project: Internship/employment opportunities at non-profits
b) New project: Online fundraising
c) New feature: Contacts list
d) New feature: Invite friends outside the site to join your group/project

Any other suggestions are always welcomed.

Here we go - There are a lot of little things to finish, but I see no reason not to let everyone see the site now. I'm working on some additional features, mainly adding and maintaining a list of contacts (pretty much a "must-have" feature for a Web 2.0 site) as well as the ability to email friends to invite them to a group or project.

Once any immediate bugs are worked out, I will begin implementing the invitation feature, which is disabled right now (since there aren't enough members of the site to make it worthwhile).

Enjoy the site, and please let me know if you have comments or questions!

Almost there - Just finished the internal mail system - now working on the first projects module (email/phone/letter campaign). Inshallah, will do it by the end of the weekend...

What's left to do in beta testing - Here's what's on my to-do list of things to complete before launching into the public beta period:

a) Finish internal mail system so that members can communicate with each other. This is also required for the project invitation system to work.

b) Enable project creation with the first of many project modules, which for an email/phone/mail campaign. Future modules include "flash" fundraising, real-world event organizing, group research wiki, and more.

The automatic project invitation system is more challenging and will take a while; I will build that after we move to public beta. For the time being, people will have to join projects manually rather than receiving email invites for matched projects.
