[Imc-drupal-dev] drupalcon anyone?

[mark burdett]

Hi, I haven't thought too much about crabgrass but I'm sure it could be 
worked on.  Crabgrass does seem more geared to internal, private 
functioning of a group, whereas I was thinking more about a tool for 
open participation, for purposes of recruiting and mentoring new 
volunteers, etc.  It also wouldn't be too hard to build the system on a 
drupal site.
 
You should contribute some use cases/feature requests to the 
crabgrass-dev group or chat with the developers on irc :)
