** Copied everything (46 photos) in the PicasaWeb account for sagamorephotos@gmail.com (Garden/Grounds work photos [[John Lenz]] collected) over to photos@sagamorehillspta.org 's Google Drive --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 20:00, 16 February 2015 (EST)
** photos@sagamorehillspta.org is fully functional and promoted in the announcements. sagamorephotos@gmail.com still exists though; maybe delete it after 2015-2016. --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 16:11, 12 December 2015 (EST)
* [[Sagamore reference]]
* Correct [https://twitter.com/SagamorePTA @SagamorePTA] address for PTA website (from ''pta''sagamorehills.org to sagamorehills''pta''.org (it used to work years ago) --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 21:02, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

===Done===

* Make the authoritative calendar pdf linked from the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/calendar PTA calendar page] an unchanging address hosted by us, like hosted (and updated) on the [[Sagamore Google Drive]] --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 14:22, 12 September 2014 (EDT)
** ✓ The "print" option on the [http://sagamorehillspta.org/calendar calendar page] now provides an (ugly) always-up-to-date PDF created directly from the electronic calendar. The "regular" print calendar that's printed and handed out occasionally is still a Word document on the Google Drive, maintained and synced by others. --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 15:51, 12 December 2015 (EST)
* Email addresses at sagamorehillspta.org, to forward to appropriate people over time?  Like board@, online@, advertise@, etc.?
** Started [[Sagamore email]] with <code>[[communications@sagamorehillspta.org]]</code>, <code>treasurer@sagamorehillspta.org</code>, and <code>garden@sagamorehillspta.org</code> --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 13:50, 3 September 2014 (EDT)
** ✓ When Dave Barker became PTA Communications starting Fall 2015, he got the Board using @sagamorehillspta.org email addresses (see http://sagamorehillspta.org/board ) and group (email list) addresses @groups.sagamorehillspta.org (see http://sagamorehillspta.org/groups ). --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 15:41, 12 December 2015 (EST)
* [http://list.9.0ne.org/archive/sagamore.online/2013-August/000059.html Consider using MailChimp instead of Constant Contact] -[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 12:31, 20 August 2013 (EDT)
** ✓ Move made Fall 2015 when Dave Barker became PTA Communications. Constant Contact makes a complete export impossible. The contact were exported and saved to the Drive (and imported into MailChimp). The account is no longer paid for (it was on Nancy Shober's card), but it still possible to log in (just not send). --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 16:10, 12 December 2015 (EST)
* BringIt Signup Sheets (http://sagamorevolunteers.pleasebringit.com/):
** Should we move over to [http://bringitsignupsheets.tumblr.com/post/37345497604/the-new-bringit-dec-2-2012 their "new" signup sheets at bringit.bz]?
*** Newness at https://sagamorehills.bringit.bz/ , credentials in the Password file.  It wants a credit card to maintain being able to copy sheets (free version looses that and adds ads) --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 12:00, 26 October 2014 (EDT)
** Should we just use Google Forms instead (possible, advantages?)?
** ✓ Old signup sheets were copied over to the new (by Nancy Shober) and the account closed. The new one is being billed monthly to Kristie McMahan. Nobody else has mentioned interest in Google Forms or other replacements. --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 15:37, 12 December 2015 (EST)
