Feature: Activity History

Every Member wants to do some thing for the party. It may be a small donation, or some help in activity or joining new people. And it is human nature to expect the recognition for the work we do.

So we think it very important for this portal to have a way to track the contributions of individuals and provide environment for better recognition and fair treatment.

Activity History feature we are planning will do this task. This history will be attached to every member in the party. Any one can see what other member did. Not only this. Every non-member can also see this activity history.

For members it helps them recognizing others, gives the ability to compare. For non-members it is a small point to create trust in the party. They will know that so many individuals are working for the better country. So they will be inclined to join.

Activities are classified into two types.
  1. Measurable Activities
  2. Non-Measurable Activities

These activities can be classified in to many categories. Quick summary of the activity history will consolidate all Measurable Activities and will show some of the Non-Measurable Activities.

Users can optionally click on full history and see every individual activity. We can show them using some Calendar control also.

For this module to achieve its objectives, every activity done by the party or individual behalf of the party should be entered into the system. These activities should be monitored and approved/asserted by some one.

Lets first start with making the list of possible activities that a party member can do..

  1. Referring other members
  2. Donating Funds
  3. Participating in Discussions
  4. Attending Meetings
  5. Organizing Rallies
  6. Participating in Medical Camps
  7. Participating in Door To Door activities
  8. Using Vote in party internal elections
  9. Helping in Internet Activities

There will be many other activities which we can add here. Some are measured in numbers.
For example..
  1. Number of people Referred/Joined
  2. Amount of money donated
  3. Number of questions/comments
  4. Meetings Attended
  5. Hours worked in other activities
  6. Rating from the organizer of activity
  7. Rating of discussions/comments


Please provide your ideas, comments and suggestions.
