Development Challenges
Here is the big list of all the items I've tagged with the label AKL092019 - You can pick anything from this list to work on - but we will group them into Tables at the weekend along the main themes below.
Opportunities
BIG Goal here is to complete the closure phase of an opportunity. This includes being able to review the list of invitees and tick off who actually attended, and send out thank you emails etc.
There's also a bunch of email stories - we want people to receive nice emails for all key event state changes in voluntarily. Walter has done some new designs and the templates are in the code base - we just need to switch them on.
Then we can also add some new emails that get send out at various stages - including the thank-yous.
People can opt out of receiving emails.
And we setup the pronouns so that email refer to people correctly.

For new people we have also tagged some of the stories as 'easy' These are ones good as a first challenge if you are new to voluntarily or react coding.
