To that end NER is looking for one or two volunteers with database and web development experience to help us create a simple DB to replace our spreadsheets. We're not looking for anything fancy -- just a basic web interface for entering and displaying the information we collect before each event. We don't care what language (PHP, Perl, Python, etc) or DB (MySQL, PostGRE, etc) is used to create this application so it's pretty much up to the volunteer who takes on this project. A few of the NER board members have experience in this field and can give advice and answer questions so you won't be completely alone.
If this sounds like a project you're interested in please contact our Treasurer Eva Papp using the contact form on the NER site:

We know this is a big project for a volunteer so we'll try to give whoever helps us with this project some additional perks as well. Thanks!
