Tony,

I'm compiling programmers to make an opensource ChCMS, that's a church and content management system. It will be php/mysql/ajax. The ten things you listed is exactly what I and the other few of us have had in mind for the longest time. I can't believe someone hasn't made something like this yet, but we are going to do it. We're only college students, but hey, who can work a 9-5 then be up all night coding... college students.

I'd have to expand on the "Administrator friendly: Painless upgrades" topic by adding: No requiring the IT Admin to walk around to every desktop system to install updates. Easy, managed deployment of all upgrades.

Marcus,

I am interested in how you have gone about researching the needs of all types of churches and designing the system you are developing before you start. Do you know that other churches are currently in the process of developing an open source church management solution and would enjoy additional programming help? You may want to talk with Clif Guy from Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City. They actually have a full time person dedicated to programming/development and they would welcome the help of others. You may want to check out their website at www.webempoweredchurch.com. They are working in conjunction with a company called iModules. Their website is www.imodules.com. I hope this information is helpful. I think it is wonderful that the churches are wanting to develop their own systems, but I know if we can unite together the workload would be less and we would end up with a much better system.

Shelley, we've been watching some of the needs of local area churches that range from a church plant to a mega church with several campuses as well as looking at our own needs and brainstorming ideas and subject matters as to ease the tracking of people who pass through their doors and when it comes down to it, the relationships within a church. I've known of some open source projects that have been around, but we don't exactly feel that they follow in with the idea we are trying to place from mind to code. I myself am not a programmer but a graphic designer. If you have any further questions please contact me by email at mmonroe AT gmail DOT com.
