3.12 PROJECTS
Sometimes it is difficult to organize the communication and activities
between different members of an organization, be it city, guild, clan,
etc. People are often not in the realms at the same time or have a hard
time knowing what their fellow members are doing. The project system
attempts to alleviate some of this difficulty. It aims to provide a way
in which the members of an organization can communicate what is going on
and who is in charge of it (so people may contact them for more
information).
Projects are created by leaders of an organization (or someone with
creation permissions) and each project is assigned a 'leader'. This
leader is then able to update information regarding the project (such as
its name or completion status) as well as add notes so that members know
what the project is about. Two people always have access to modify
and/or delete a project: The organization leader (can affect ANY
project), and the project's leader (can only affect his own project).
*** The following commands are used to view projects
PROJECTS [BY <person>] [IN <group pattern>]
Display a list of projects that are visible to you. Eg. "PROJECTS BY
ROARK" or "PROJECTS IN CELEST" or "PROJECTS IN a*". PROJECTS by
itself displays every project. (The BY and IN clauses are optional).
PROJECT <id>
Display detailed information on a specific project; including the
name, status, and description.
*** These are used by organization leaders and project leaders to
create/modify/delete a project
PROJECT NEW IN <group> NAMED <name>
Create a new project in <group> (must be specified, because you can
belong to more than one) with the given name. This can only be done
by the organization leader. Once it is created, the project leader
may be set.
PROJECT <id> SET <property> <value>
This is used to change information about the project. Available
properties are: 'name', 'status', 'info', and 'leader'. Leader is
only settable by the organization leader. Name is what is displayed
in the project listing. Status is a short description of the current
status of the project (such as "Planning", "80% Complete",
"Finished", etc). Info is a long description of what the project is
about. Basically any information that others need to know. Examples:
PROJECT 1 SET status planning
PROJECT 1 SET leader
PROJECT <id> EDIT
This will allow you to edit the 'info' property via the Lusternia
composer. Use this when you need some special formatting or are
setting it to something quite lengthy.
PROJECT DELETE <id>
This will remove the project from all records. Only usable by an
organization or individual project's leader.
PROJECT GROUPS
Display a list of the groups you are in and what level of access
you have. It is either 'Normal' or 'FULL'. FULL indicates you can
create projects in that group.
