Emailing Issues

February 7, 2012, 9:05 pm

Hello everyone. We've recently found some problems that we didn't have with certain email clients when people register with us and have been doing research into why people haven't received verifying emails. Tested email services that work include: gmail.com, yahoo.com, rocketmail.com, and chorus.net. We seem to be having issues with our verification emails when sending out to tds.com and hotmail.com. Two steps forward and one step back. We are very sorry for any possible frustrations and have been trying to solve this issue.

Troubleshooting and Moving Forward

February 6, 2012, 7:32 pm

We are now in troubleshooting mode and developing up a couple delete and edit feature to add more functionality to the platform. We now have given you an option to delete or modify an event if you are a leader or admin of your local group or have a personal event. Though we are a little strapped with time, developments are in place to add more editing and deleting features to the message board. Thank you for your feedback with the website and helping us troubleshoot through this. Without users informing us about problems, it's easy for us to get lost in other things and miss them. Don't hesitate to email us at communitysupport@wisconsingrassroots.net to help us work out the bugs to improve the website.

Tutorials and Events Update

January 12, 2012, 6:45 pm

Hello everyone. We now have a well put together tutorial section that explains how to use this platform. Some of them may seem silly but we wanted to make sure everything people needed to know was there. We have added a new feature for editing and removing events for group events and personal events. Are biggest project at the time being, before we can move forward with further developments of the website, will be developing up a presentation for possible investors in order to maintain the productivity it takes to stay on top of this giant product and be competitive. We are glad to be able to have the opportunity to work on this and we hope we will be able to continue the endeavor!

Tutorial Videos

January 4, 2012, 6:31 pm

Hello everyone. Something new we are currently working on, including polishing up on what is currently out there on the website, is developing up tutorial videos on how-to's. We hope to have a extensive series on the website functions so users have a place to go to learn how to use the website.

Beta is up and running

December 29, 2011, 10:05 am

After many cups of coffee, the site is ready to be tested and ready to have the bugs worked out and further developed. I personally want to extend my gratitude to everyone who has been patient. Like I've stressed before to friends and family, this is like building a car from a bunch of parts randomly put in front of you. This website will constantly be evolving and continue to change to help make it easier and easier for groups to organize and coordinate their members. Thank you

Home Stretch

November 29, 2011, 4:40 pm

Hello everyone, It's been a journey but soon we will have what you've been asking. We are in the home stretch and are at the point where we are working out bugs and getting into more of the aesthetics of the website. We would like to thank all of you who have been waiting patiently and hope to provide a beta for groups to use soon. We are truly grateful. This has been a massive project and it will continue to be just that.

Calendar Update

November 16, 2011, 1:40 pm

The calendar has just about been resolved and groups can now coordinate and plan themselves on their own personal calendars. That was a major road block I'm glad we were able to overcome. Now we will be focusing on more group functionality and the search engine.

Connecting Up

November 11, 2011, 6:46 pm

There have been some breakthroughs in developing up the friends interface with connecting up with others! We have developed from scratch a general calendar script, and now we are going to into the group functions and other sections. One of the final ongoing projects that will continue to surface includes the security features and the search engine features for all things involved in connecting people with groups and others to group events.

New News

November 3, 2011, 2:00 pm

We have made some pretty significant pushes on our search engine since the last time I've posted and have worked out most of the search engine kinks and have a fully functioning map feature. There has been some added features for admins to be able to create group search tags for their group and also change member status or remove members from their group.

We have been having problems with the "big white elephant in the room" calendar function with incorporating already developed code in a way that fits our needs and find that it may be better to simply develop our own calendar from scratch.

So along with developing up a calendar so we can get into group planning features, we are going to be developing friend features and personal privacy features so people can stay under the radar from groups and other people if they want to.

We are working in the timeline between the middle of November and late December before we have a presentable thing for people to try out.

Search Engine Success and Email Verification

October 20, 2011, 10:33 pm

We are fortunate to have a database analyst, my old man, on the project to help out with the search engine! We now have a user friendly group search engine that people will be able to scope out what groups are out in their community. We have made some good headway with our group map function and now when groups register up we will be able to pin point their location for people to connect up with them.

Content Update

October 19, 2011, 1:47 am

Hello everyone in the Wisconsin Grassroots Network,


I apologize for the lack of updates lately. With a few personal things that came up and the diligence in developing up the new message mail feature, group search functions, personal blog sections, and some new interfaces, I’ve neglected keeping you informed.

Things are going very well with development but we’ve been hitting some road bumps with email verification that has been kicking us in the head with certain email providers. In order to keep on track, we’ve had to balance our time on this to keep moving forward on this massive project.

We will be making major strides to push forward on developing better search functions with a google map like feature that will show the results on it…. but one step at a time.

We will continue to keep you up to date and make sure to check out our updates section if you are interested in where we are at in the alpha development stages. Thanks for all your support and we hope that things continue to move along at the pace they are so we can provide a working beta that people will be able to test out with their local groups!

Calendars Up and Running

October 5, 2011, 5:05 pm

Hello everyone,

There has been alot of pressure to put together a calendar platform to keep people up to date with things we will be doing within the grassroots network. It took alot of elbow grease but we now have a new tab that will direct you to the calendar.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you cannot see the content on the calendar do this: HOLD DOWN Ctrl + USE THE  MIDDLE MOUSE SCROLLY THING TO MAKE THE FONT SIZE BIGGER.

Internet Explorer Issues

September 26, 2011, 9:16 pm

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give a heads up that Internet Explorer has been a little buggy with some stuff we've added. Internet Explorer can be a pain to work with in the web world. We recommend using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to check out our website as it continues to change. They are much more compatible and you will see the website how it should be seen always. We apologize for any confusion!
