Talk:Membership (Time as Member)

Title is something of a placeholder. We have good raising lists for 2001-2004, which should make it possible and have the spreadsheet for most of the current members, so this shouldn't be to difficult to manage

Hmmm... this will be a very tricky page and I don't know how it will be maintainable. Citizens are not on those lists, I can think of several around that long. I'll talk to Ale, see what kind of records she has. Also we don't know the join dates for those who joined on the sandmashadar boards. The file I have does not have those dates just dates of raising. LoAs are almost impossible to track back on. I know this is to help see who would warrant the merit badge (as well as show a good record) but I think this page will not be very manageable. Especially with LoAs. Use me as an example (I'm a good one for this :P) I'm here 8 and a half years but how many would you actually say I am? --Kerna 12:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, you certainly had a couple of years away. It may be that we add the people we know about and then add others if they demonstrate they are here for that long. Mostly, I wanted to have the things that are likely to be Merit Badges represented in the library. And time as a member is one of them, though the exact time still needs to be worked out. For the merit badges, that will likely have to be something people apply for But I didn't link or categorise it, not just because it is nowhere near ready, but also because I wasn't sure we could get it to work It may also be that we would have it by time as active member, rather than year joined, which then makes it even harder to do.--Toral, Department Director and subsupreme overlord 15:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
