  1. Carpool Bot

    This would be an OPT-IN only feature. Create a script that recognizes where each member is coming from without disclosing their precise location. Based on starting locations and where the activity starts i.e. trail head, let participants know based on that data how much of their likely drive routes match up. For example: You would get a notification that you and another participant are likely to share 90% of the same roads to travel to the activity. The user could set the tolerance of how much of the route to share. 70, 80, 90% etc. in order to get a…

  2. badge clarification

    make sure badges actually have a person attatched to maintaining them. Some of the applications are quite extensive and if a person doe an application for a badge and never hears back, that is very frustrating. Also, there are a lot of badges people can get, we should highlight these and celebrate, also each activity should know what badges their branch offers and have budget money to do award celebrations.

  3. Rate Hike Preferences

    I get daily emails describing upcoming Mountaineers hikes but for the most part they are too challenging or too long for me. I joined GoHike this year to find out about shorter hikes. I prefer hikes that are less than 10 miles. I think if would be great to be able to choose in preferences: Hikes less than 10 miles or Hikes greater than 10 miles/ strenuous.

  4. Notifications based on saved searches

    The current method of defining notifications is basic and, simply put, inflexible. It is possible to get notifications based on varies high level criteria (e.g. branch, activity type) but that doesn't mean that the notifications will be meaningful since there are many criteria that can be filtered on in the activity search. It should be possible to create search criteria and save those such that you're notified any activity that matches that criteria. This would save people time by since they won't need to manually filter the activities in the notifications based on this additional criteria.

    This would supercede https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/49808195-alerts-notifications-preferences-for-audience…

  5. Allow markup formatting for Carpool Preferences notes

    The Carpool Preferences widget provides a "notes" section which allows for free-form content to be provided by the users. This can provide useful information for other participants such as the type of car, passes you have, expected reimbursement rates, etc. A participant may organize this information so it's easily consumed by the reader. The problem is that the formatting is only preserved when viewing the "notes" section in the edit view. When a participant tries to read it, all formatting is removed (e.g. newlines are removed) which can make it very difficult to read the content. This undoes any attempt…

  6. Self populating cell meet place and time

    Create a self populating cell that when you’re posting or developing your template for the activity, There’s usually several options to launch from, and the cell could populate on the condition when you select where you were going to launch from it tells you or populates the cell with the meeting place and have an option in the cell that allows for time inputs of meet time and launch time and maybe an option for pre-launch meeting time This would eliminate. This could eliminate the current meat, place and time box completely. Leader could have the notes in there and…

  7. Gift Memberships for Renewals

    Why are gift memberships restricted to new members? Every year I'm asked what I'd like for my birthday and Christmas. It would be delightful if my family members could renew my Mountaineers membership. I get the benefir of the Mountaineers and my family gets the benefit of giving it to me. That certainly beats another tie. I prefer gifts which are not "things". I have enough possessions already.

  8. Make the Volunteer Hours page visible to all leaders

    Similar to how leaders can view any member's activity/course history. This would help leaders get a sense for a member's availability, see what they have or haven't tracked, etc.
