[Chapter-delegates] Chapter toolkit project needs your help

[José Legatheaux]

Dear Alexander,

Dear all,

We use the Wordpress template for our chapter website since we think that
an integrated image for ISOC Chapters is the way to proceed. A feature we
think the template misses is some integrated mechanism to share files with
users (other than those sharable by the media library). Nowadays we resort
directly to Apache and FTP as available in the hosting platform.

As soon as we have time and opportunity, the other component of the project
that we intend to access is the email Toolkit. Currently we use Google
email services (with a corporate account for the board), mainly because of
their good collaboration tools and shared folders. We get email, groups,
messages archives, etc. as a bonus.

And we support your request for funding !

Warm regards, José
