Church Directory using MT4?
My church has requested the creation of an online directory that is password protected. Our congregation has roughly 200 members. I would love to turn the online directory into more of a social networking thing for our congregation where members can post information about their lives (and I'm not sure what else, I would love to hear some more thinking on the possibilities). Our paper directory is divided by family with contact information and information about each individual family member (name, birthday, email, hobbies, etc.). The online directory would at least have to function as well as the paper directory.
Some of the (starting) questions that I'm getting stuck on are:
- Is this something that can be (should be) done with regular MT or should we look into Enterprise? (Is this something that should be done with MT at all?)
- What kind of budget should I ask for to do this?
- What are the possibilities for something like this?
- Is this too ambitious? I mean, we're only a congregation of 200 (on a good day). Is this just too much?
- I'm sure I'm missing thinking about something else, please chime in and let me know.

So, that doesn't really help you much, but I guess it's to say that you need to have very defined expectations and schedule if you don't want it to drag on, especially if it's a volunteer effort. Good luck!
