	We're looking to continue our work on the Cohort CRM. It's a tag-based CRM targetted to the needs of small teams in a non-sales environment - so non-profits and/or mission-based organizations looking to track their interactions and relationships with individuals and other organizations. It implements a hierarchical tagging system that allows for free tagging, where those tags live in a hiearchy as well. It's a modern Rails3 application targetted for ruby 1.8.7.

It's a tag-based CRM targetted to the needs of small teams in a non-sales environment - so non-profits and/or mission-based organizations looking to track their interactions and relationships with individuals and other organizations. It implements a hierarchical tagging system that allows for free tagging, where those tags live in a hiearchy as well. It's a modern Rails3 application targetted for ruby 1.8.7. The gems it's using include:

	~~Specifically, we're looking to:~~		*Formtastic
			*Sunspot
			*A customized version of acts_as_taggable_on
			*ancestry

	* Create an ~~AJAX API that allows folks to manage slices of their information stored in Cohort~~. ~~This would allow users to sign up and leave a tag~~ (~~or collection of tags) automatically. A tag might then propagate~~ to ~~a mailing list or be used to track RSVPs to an event,~~		It has a rich jquery / ajax interface and is around 15 engineering hours away from an early release. The source code repository lives here ( link to https://github.com/berkmancenter/cohort_ng ).
	* Make a richer de-duplication system,
	* Make the application prettier. ~~It's ugly.~~
	* And generally improve the UI and make a better interface for adminstrators working within the system.

	~~It's built~~ in ~~Rails~~. ~~Your ideas are welcome!~~		Some possible directions include:
			*Build a well modelled custom field system
			*Build a rich de-duplication system
			*Finish the mailing system from the Rails 2 version of cohort
			*Create a lightweight "custom form" system that allows third parties to add and/or remove themselves from tags inside Cohort in a secure fashion.
			*Build out a bulletproof suite of tests (rspec?) that test thoroughly against both Postgresql and MySQL

We're looking to continue our work on the Cohort CRM project started last year. See [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/gsoc2009/Cohort_CRM this page] for an overview. [http://github.com/djcp/cohort The source code repository lives here.]

Specifically, we're looking to:

* Create an AJAX API that allows folks to manage slices of their information stored in Cohort. This would allow users to sign up and leave a tag (or collection of tags) automatically. A tag might then propagate to a mailing list or be used to track RSVPs to an event,
* Make a richer de-duplication system,
* Make the application prettier. It's ugly.
* And generally improve the UI and make a better interface for adminstrators working within the system.

It's built in Rails. Your ideas are welcome!
