Ok, so to start out this mammoth list, I'm going to post the ideas that have turned into something.Ideas suggested:Implemented ideas:-The big brother/big sister program was a suggestion made to try and help new people figure out the site easier. There hasn't been much direct work on the exact idea, but there has been a lot of work put into developing programs for all types of assistance. -The Community Blog Directory. This was brought up early on and was put together by a contributor. It was published and I keep it updated when new blogs are added to it. -Merch in general. We discussed different things that could be Eden branded. So far we have a few Eden branded toys (Kissa and Passion dual bullets), a toy pouch, wipes, and the first T-shirt from the design contest. -Having a CPM newsletter, something that would remind people when the meetings are and give them updates on what happened in the last meeting. As of right now the CPM is mentioned in the weekly email that lists upcoming events and meeting summaries can be read on our blog. -A public calendar to help community members keep track of events. For a few months this was a thread that Gary or I started that listed all of the upcoming events for that month. Eventually it became the calendar at the top of the forum and on the community news page. -Removing points on voting polls. While we haven't necessarily done this specifically, we have reworked the points program to adjust the payout for certain activities and help reduce point farming. There's no official release date as of yet, but it is currently in programming. -Expanding the community news page to truly reflect all the things currently being offered. At this point, the community news page contains a little bit of everything. There's always room for improvement though, so ideas for other things to add/change are welcome.-Getting an automatic notification of when your student has been given an assignment. While there's still no automatic notification, you can ask Justin to notify you if he does create an assignment. He's normally really good about letting you know if it's been done or not to begin with, and once you know that the assignment has been created you can ask your student whether or not they've accepted it from there. -Removing “committee” from the name of this meeting. As you can see, it went from the Community Events Committee to the Community Planning Meeting after a poll was taken on the forums. -Signatures for club managers. Since there's already a pretty box and title associated with each club manager, a signature for each post seemed a little over the top. An answer to wanting to add a signature without always having said signature was to prepare a pre-formatted post and add it to the end of relevant posts. less

1) "As of right now the CPM is mentioned in the weekly email that lists upcoming events and meeting summaries can be read on our blog. "

What is this weekly email? I am subscribed to Eden newsletter but I never get one, I just get all my alerts.

2) I am all for reducing points of any kind to prevent point farming. less

And for the ideas that have been brought up but haven't done much:

Ideas that haven't done much:
-Toy recycling. This has been brought up numerous times. One contributor was planning on a large scale project with a workshop or contest involving the best way to upcycle an unwanted toy that couldn't be recycled and petitioning manufacturers to start adding the necessary logos for recycling, but that never went anywhere.

-Coordinating and running a ‘prop’ thing, where if one contributor wanted to give “props” to another (something as simple as a picture taken with a shout out to another person) they could take a picture, email it to one of us running it, and we could coordinate all the entries and post them monthly. Submitters would remain anonymous. This idea was brought up at the third meeting and never went anywhere.

-A lingerie exchange program. This would cover things that didn't fit, can't be returned, etc. In general it would involve anything but panties. This would have to be something organized and run by community members. So far it was brought up once or twice, and nothing has been done about it.

-A blogring has been brought up a few times. It hasn't really gone anywhere.
-The idea of a large scale get together has been brought up from time to time. Initially, we thought it would be a neat idea to have everybody come to the warehouse in New Jersey but with the merge with Liberator, things are a little more up in the air. The idea of having smaller satellite get togethers where we would meet up with people in our area and connect each one via something like Skype was mentioned as a way to let people meet who couldn't travel all the way to EF headquarters. Nothing has been mentioned of this in a while.

-Adding to or reworking the main page to more accurately reflect the newer programs and make it easier for a new person to find their way around and get commonly asked questions answered. Having a banner or something that says “new to the site? Click here!” that leads to an updated FAQ list, as well as a list of all of the available programs and clubs and their explanations. There have been changes made to the main page since this was brought up, and there will continue to be changes made. The biggest factor is getting somebody to go through and figure out the best way to lay things out again.

-A separate place from the calendar to have information about all of the clubs and other things going on around Eden. Something that breaks down “here are the clubs, this is what they do, here's how to participate” A spot with all the other things on the right side of the main page. This idea and the last one are pretty similar. At this point, the clubs blog contains most of the information that you'd need to know about the clubs, but there isn't a specific spot for it on the site just yet.

-Post Crossing was suggested a few times. Basically members would mail each other greeting cards, but with the issue of privacy and anonymity a few other ideas were suggested. One being that one person would be in charge of all of the addresses for everybody, and the other being e-cards. This idea hasn't gone anywhere yet.

-Limiting the time that a poll can be voted on. This has practical use for things like the Rumble, but has been fairly low on the priority list and hasn't really gone anywhere.

-Sticky threads. The idea has been brought up time and time again and while I've heard that it's in development for future forum updates, I don't have anything specific which is why it's on this list.

-Activity badges. These can be for anything from reaching a certain amount of posts or reviews or pretty much anything. There's been a lot of yays and nays for this one, so nothing much has been done with it.

-Adding the verified tag back to reviews listed with the new product page layout. It is possible to see a list of all of the reviews on a product without too much work, but not very easy to see which reviews are verified when looking for assignments. This has been brought up a few times, but nothing has happened yet.

-Adding more pages to the list of recent reviews on the community news page, or adding a “random” button that takes you to a random review. This idea has been mentioned a few times, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. With the consistent influx of new reviews coming in, this would be helpful and will be passed on. less
