CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I volunteer for a branch of a UK charity. We need to install some sort of system to record case histories and general charity office procedures e.g. volunteer, donators. I am trying to cope with learning about CRM as well as install a trial system to see how things work. Willing to join any discussion on this subject and exchange ideas or even (eventually) code, etc.

Feedback welcome.

Thanks for the offer. It's fair first for me to get the ball rolling and I have now a Drupal system working on my laptop (no emails yet). One aspect I am thinking of is the issue of whether to host the final system external or on our office server (Ubuntu server 8.10). The advantage for external is I suppose the email facility automatically associated, out-of-office working but a domain name would need to be purchased. Has anyone some thoughts?
