Re: How do you keep track of your members?
I've had a little bit of a dream of moving our entire team over to WordPress.
The platform is customizable enough that we could have everyone enter in their contact details, availability information, etc, all in the profile fields. You could just create other forms for additional data that would get filled out (events, member agreements, travel forms, etc) and use the email/user as the unique identifier.
It would be really easy to add permissions to the people that need to work on the website. You could even put a message board (buddyPress?) on top of it. Plus, with how WordPress already works anyone could submit a post for consideration and publish by an administrator (website team members/mentors).
As of right now, we do Google Forms and Google Spreadsheets to host most of our data. We make sure we always ask for an email and name. We store name, grade, contact info, parent info, t-shirt size, availability. At about 30-40 people (depending on the day) we've avoided assigning people to 'teams' because half of the time we'll get programmers or builders that are bored and want to work on a marketing project, or vice versa.
