Coming this weekend is the S.A. Architect website! So I thought I would drop a quick teaser to explain all the good new features, the bad of the change and the pretty.
The Good
- The new site allows members to register without admin intervention.
- Ability to use Google Analytics for the states.
- We can offer blogs to members very easily now.
- Users can use the traditional username & password or OpenId for authentication.
- Proper event management system – We can now create an event and have invites sent out, lists of who is coming, how many they are brining etc...
- Printing support on every page.
- Automatic Google group registration – so when someone signs up to the site they join the Google group too (new members can untick that option).
- Looks great in all browsers, no more browser specific options.
The Bad
- Every user needs to be migrated, so this weekend all users will be moved and their passwords reset. So you will get an email from the system with the new password.
The Pretty
Below is a sneak peak at what to expect:
