At last the volunteer product is ready. This can be used with very
few modifications for the Business directory also. This Zope product is released under
GPL.
Please visit the instance of the product at
http://forum.gnu.org.in/Volunteers/
Use it and give your feedback.
This product is developed by a freelance student friend of mine,
Mr. Rajendra Shastrakar, who will also be on the fsf-web. So if
there are any problems you may post them.
If you find it OK, please do make a link in the main page of fsf-india.

Good work Rajendra!
Feedback:
The "webmaster" link on the front page is broken.
Trying to submit a phone number including area code generates an error:
Error Type: ValueError
Error Value: A long integer was expected in the value '0484-xxxxxx'
Maybe it should use a string type for the phone number?
This can be used with very few modifications for the
Business
directory also.
Is Rajendra already working on that :) ?
If you find it OK, please do make a link in the main
page of fsf-india.
Done.

Those who register for the business directory should not be considered
volunteers. The purpose of the business directory is for free software
businesses to publicize themselves and help free software users find
an appropriate business for their needs. The term volunteer should
therefore not be used in this directory.
Secondly, I don't think it is necessary to distinguish between
individuals and organisations in the business directory. Even an
individual businessman usually has a name for his business or
consultancy.
The listing of entries in the business directory needs lot more
information than the sample application shows. Please remember that
unlike the volunteer directory which will usually need to be accessed
by people at FSF-India (who have management access to the zope
database and hence can see all the fields) the business directory is
primarily meant for viewing by the general public. Thus no fields
should be considered private and all information entered by a
registered business must be displayed at the time of listing.
Please give some further thought to my inputs in the earlier mail based
on our experience with the FSUG-Kochi business directory.

Hi Khuzaima
Yes this makes sense ........
Check this out .. i have modified the site .. Following changes i have
made
1. separated business-directory ver all field are publicly avaliable
2. merged anchors for Org. name and contact name
well yes i have taken all the field for business dir ( as u suggested)on
new site.
But im not very clear abt the address part which u told should have a
state/city geographical distribution . Well if u mean that it should be a
drop down list .. eg. if i select maharastra on state list then
list
of city should also change respectively.I think this could be added in
further version .Wot u say?
If anyone has any other suggestion lemme know
Cheers

No, nothing so fancy :) Just that the city and state should have their
own text field so that the listing can be easily sorted according to
city/state.

Hi,
The mixing of the Volunteer directory and Business directory is very
confusing. These are two completely unrelated directories serving
two completely different purposes.
The Business directory should have its own home page with the
options "Register", "Update entry (Login)" and "List
directory."
Similarly for the volunteer directory. Volunteers can only be
individuals.

BTW if we have the volunteer directory ready, will have to announce the
list.

Well, It is easy to separate out both dir. both objects are realatively
separate. only they are kept on same page .. if someone can cut/paste it
(links)
on other page , this problem could be sloved .
BTW i dont think there are many ppl signed on business dir. So i think
it make
sense to keep it simple . Anyway changes can always be made to current
product.
Cheers

Thanks for the prodding :) I have separated the two and the bizdir is
now available at http://forum.gnu.org.in/bizdir
If there are no problem reports or objections, shall I link to it from
our home page?

Oh that is because we haven't announced it anywhere! The only people
who know about it are the handful of friends on this list.
Once we are ready, I think Dr. Nagarjuna will be announcing both the
business directory and the volunteer directory on the FSF-India
announcement list and other relevant free software related lists of
India.
Regards, and thanks and kudos again for the great work on the
directory development, Raj.

Nice work!

link to it from
Yahh
1. I think 'Update entry' anchor ( on left side@ home) points to login
..so
i should be renamed as login
2.It seems u have copied all the users ( acl_folder ) from Volunteers (
individual ) product. Should it not be removed...
