WeRelate:Volunteer log

Please use this page to record the volunteer projects that you are currently working on. This way you'll know who to coordinate with and we'll know which projects need volunteers. Just sign your name next to the project(s) you want to work on. It's OK for multiple people to work together on a project. Remove your name when you want to take a break or if you want to switch to something else.

WeRelate runs on the efforts of volunteers. Please consider volunteering some of your time on one or more of these projects, even if only for a short time. Anyone can sign up to work on a project. You don't have to be an administrator.

Thank you!

Note: We received a message from the IRS stating that they no longer require our tracking volunteer time to qualify for public charity status. Therefore we are no longer asking people to record their volunteer time. Previous volunteer times have been archived for 2007, 2008, and the first half of 2009. Data aggregate statistics and bar chart presentations for 2007 and 2008 appear on WeRelate:Volunteer log/Statistics.
