Roadmap

General Strategy

Thanks for being interested in where we're going. At a 10,000 foot view, here's the broad categories of functionalty that we're going to be looking at:

1. Social (we've mostly got this, but need some improvements)
2. Office (people database, attendance/check-in, reporting, giving?)
3. Engagement (connecting volunteers, organizing leadership communication with congregation)

1. Social

• Usability Improvements
• Integration with Twitter and Facebook (at least for login, but maybe more) - [x] Login - [ ] post status updates
• Check-in
• Add invite functionality (invite people to join the community)

2. Office

• Custom Fields
• Reporting
• Class rosters (extension of Groups and Attendance)
• Giving
• Add a campus field (custom fields?)

3. Engagement

• Calendaring (possibly integrate with Google Calendar)
• Follow-up/Pastoral Care/Shepherding
• Onboarding/Membership
• Prayer Event Sign-up (pick a slot for continuous prayer)
• Book a meeting with someone in the church staff.
• Ability for admins to pin a news post to the top of the home page.

Other ideas to be considered

• Feeding the Hungry (Community meals)
• Manage Post Sunday Content and Engagement (need example)
• Add the Apocrypha
• A forum type function (maybe that's just an extension of a group?)
• Highlight Service Times
• Statistics Gathering (monitor which events people go to, to see which ones lead to the most conversions, then optimize these)
• Integration with Planning Center Online (PCO) - http://get.planningcenteronline.com/
• Multi-Church Collaboration (possibly via sharing one installation, or otherwise connecting churches for communication, event planning, etc.)

Things We Won't Do

• Sunday Service Management (use something like PlanningCenterOnline.com)
• Record Service Statistics (eg. for CCLI tracking)
• Change from the AGPL License.
• Room/resource reservation.

Caveats

This page is intended to outline a map for future features of OneBody. It is really a scratch page to support dialog about what might be useful to develop in the future, and it does not represent a commitment by anybody to do anything to OneBody, at any time, at all :)
