First Nation Land Acknowledgment
I recommend placing a First Nation Land Acknowledgment statement on the bottom of The Mountaineers webpages. As an organization, we should recognize the ancestors and current stewards of the lands we live, work, and recreate on. A great example of this is already on the Braided River website/webpages. https://www.braidedriver.org.

Books & Maps: Add a Revision Date GH3284
For books and maps, add a Revision Date in addition to the Publication Date. This is helpful for book reprint dates where some corrections and revisions may be made. It is especially helpful for maps there generally do not have new editions that get a new ISBN and Publication Date, but are revised and updated every few years.

Pre-populate times on cloned events with those from the event being cloned GH3276
When cloning an event, pre-populate the event times and setup times with the times from the event being cloned. But keep them editable. Normally, a monthly meeting is going to be at the same time. Pre-populating will reduce the chance of entry errors as well. I caught several of my own mistakes.

Favorites: Flag interest on an activity
I would like to see a feature in the website to let me flag to myself that I am interested in signing up for an activity, that I can return to with a filter and decide whether to sign up or let it slip. Personally, I would not care if my interest flags were visible to others.

Show member/nonmember status on rosters
For courses/events that generate income, it would be helpful to the committee leadership if we could tell if a registered person is a member or nonmember when we look at the detailed roster. The reason...fee structure is different and we can more easily figure out how much income was generated without having to have staff pull the info for us (when they are already very busy).
It would also be helpful for activity leaders to know who the guests are (so we can talk more about the Mountaineers/other committees and entice them to join).

Pre-order/Backorder vs. Shopping Cart Clarification GH3072/3547
As a user, when pre/backordering something show me a notification that this process is separate from my other items (if I have other available items in my cart).
I'd like to see some sort of alert during/before reaching "/delayed-shipping" page that back/pre orders are not processed at the same time as the rest of the items in my cart. Reason being I'd like to avoid confusion during/after user has input all their information.
Ideally, is it possible to...
1) Check if the cart is currently empty (if so, proceed as usual)
2) If cart /= empty, perhaps an in-frame pop-up?…3 votesCompleted · AdminJeff Bowman (Associate Director of Information Technology, The Mountaineers) respondedCompleted Oct 2021.

Show past activities on a route
When looking at a route, you can see future activities as well as trip reports. I'd like to see a list of past activities, along with their completion status and leader name (whether they posted a trip report or not).
This would make it easier to contact past trip leaders to ask them about conditions, etc. as well as to get a sense of when people typically use the route.Thanks!

Creating book/product bundles GH2996
I'd like to return the ability to create bundles in Plone, e.g. Day Hiking bundle.
Right now, the problem with the old way of doing bundles are a) Acumen -> Plone inventory would always show 0, a1) "faking" inventory has no way to stop if 1 or more book in bundle runs out, and b) a pain to create royalties/requires too many staff to set up a single product

Integrate Spelling/Typo Correction/Suggestion into Text Search GH2953/3738
Add a feature or features that better handles misspellings and typos in text search strings. Two possibilities are: (1) a way to show potential spelling errors or typos like the red squiggly lines under such words, and/or (2) a feature like Google's "Showing results for {your corrected search string}. Search with {your original search string} instead."

Consolidate Responses on Website Feedback Forms SD672
We updated the responses to some of the "questions" on our feedback survey forms. The aggregated data shows both the old and the new/edited response. To make the data clearer, we should consolidate the old and new response so that are counted as being the same.

Default "Summary" section for educational activities GH2923
Use the summary section that has been entered into the activity template for clinics, seminars, lectures, and field trips as the default once you have selected the appropriate template. Right now, summary sections are written up in the template, but they don't automatically populate in the activity listing.

Add start month to automated year attached to courses etc
For courses and activities, the year auto-populates in the listing, but the accounting department needs the month to be part of that, otherwise they have to manually go into each listing to find out what month the course happens and where to book the revenue
3 votesCompleted · AdminJeff Bowman (Associate Director of Information Technology, The Mountaineers) respondedCompleted Oct 2020. Adding the start date to the Salesforce report accenting uses to enter data into Acumatica is sufficient.

Improve Book Author Import GH2780/2803
(1) Set up author bios to get exported/imported the same way that we do the book long descriptions, to avoid the need to truncate them.
(2) In the Acumen-Plone sync, automatically check the "Show in byline" box for all contacts if there are three or fewer authors on the book's roster. Note that we'll manually update book rosters for this when there are four or more on the book's roster.

Add optional "Date to Assign Student Badge" for courses
Add an option under course settings for when the "Student Badge" is assigned. Currently it is assigned when someone registers. The issue is that Student Badges are used as prerequisites for trips. This means that as soon as someone registers for the Scramble class, the website will let them sign up for Scrambles. We should wait to assign the student badge until students are far enough through the course to actually go on trips.
I'm open to other suggestions on how to handle this, but delaying issuing the badge seems like a simple to implement method.

Instructors for seminar/clinics GH2883
I just noticed there's no option for an "instructor" role in the seminar/clinic template. Can we add this? Seminars/clinics are often course-like in that they have instructors.
thanks!
