I did some cleanup of the site, we are just down to the minimum of organizations and teams. While the central core of mentors are the same from year to year, there is lots of changes since teacher swap schools, jobs and districts. It was easier to do a full clear, when the mentors come back it will be easy to put them back in. It was also a good test of the “forget me” feature of the site.
I also pulled last years team info off. With the changes in privacy policies, it was simpler to pull the team detail information off. I’ll start fresh with the new privacy policy and then won’t have to worry about it.
Speaking of privacy, one of my big things is protecting emails and phone numbers. When ever I post an email address it’s set up so that unless the scraping robot is running JavaScript the email address is hidden away. This should help with keeping the SPAM down for our users.
As schools go back in session in August / September, we should see our organizations get contact people. Around October team lists will start to fill out. We’ve already got events on the calendar and it’s looking like a full season ahead.
And speaking of events, a reminder that on July 9 there is a partner’s meeting in Dover DE. If you are thinking about holding an event or want to start a new team, here is your chance to meet with the other Event Partners in Delmarva.
