Someday Feature Wishlist

Making Organizing Easier

• Based on prior attendance / no-show data, Bridge Troll provides an attendance forecast for a given event – what percentage of the volunteers and students who are signed up are likely to actually show up.

Improving Post-Workshop Experience

• People would take photos at every workshop and there would be a blog post afterwards.
  • Bridge Troll would help organizers identify who to specifically ask to blog about the workshop
  • Bridge Troll could help collect the tweets / posts about that specific workshop
• Students would be aware of post-workshop resources
  • Online / well-known resources
  • In-person / less-advertised resources from RailsBridge volunteers
• Teachers would get feedback from students and other volunteers
• Students would track their learning progress between workshops
  • App could prompt students to reflect on what they learned, what was hard, etc.

Increase Community Communication

• Students would be able to see a list of the people in their group and be able to get in touch afterwards
• Profiles that focus on community and teaching
  • Organizers could see whether people often flake out, but public profiles should just show what they have done
• Organizers to be able to know each other, and be able to easily see a list of organizers and/or volunteers sorted by how active they have been.

Study This Thing

• Very someday: track people's success over time, understand quantitatively the efficacy of the workshops

Make Meta-Organizing Easier

• For a given locale, make it easier for meta-organizers to identify students to ask to volunteer or organizer and volunteers to ask to organize.
• Remind everyone (organizers + meta-organizers) to be sending thanks to sponsors and volunteers
