[NGO] Online sponsorship

[Russ Ferriday]

Hi Said,

I developed a sponsorship product over a year ago for http:// 
a4nr.org. Since upgrading to Plone 2.5 I have temporarily removed it,  
so you can't see it at the moment.

It's ArchegenXML sourced, has a portlet soliciting suggestions for  
prospective supporters, then a workflow to migrate those prospects to  
supporters. The templates show a list of supporters, and individuals,  
with space for quotes, and background. (The idea is that one sponsor  
can attract others, by explaining their rationale and passion for  
supporting.)  There is a portlet that shows a weighted random  
selection of supporters based on supporters level. Currently  levels  
are colours, but this is an easy change. There is use of  
ATVocabularyManager for such details:

     vocabs['supporterCategories'] = (
         ('ind', u'Individual'),
         ('cor', u'Corporation'),
         ('non', u'Non-Profit'),
         ('ang', u'Other Anti-Nuke Group'),
         ('pol', u'Individual Politician'),
         ('cit', u'City body'),
         ('sta', u'State body'),
     )

     vocabs['supporterLevels'] = (
         ('ind', u'Individual'),
         ('bro', u'Bronze'),
         ('sil', u'Silver'),
         ('ver', u'Vermeil'),
         ('gol', u'Gold'),
         ('pla', u'Platinum'),
     )

     vocabs['supporterLevelColors'] = (
         ('ind', u'#777777'),
         ('bro', u'#9C6963'),
         ('sil', u'#D6D6D6'),
         ('ver', u'#FF00FF'),
         ('gol', u'#FFCC00'),
         ('pla', u'#EEEEEE'),
     )

It's time to revisit this product when I have a moment, so let me  
know if it's useful to you. When it's cleaned up (couple of workflow  
issues), I'll offer it to the collective.
