VMOSS got started as the volunteer management (VM) module in the Sahana system. It was developed initially by some Trinity students and faculty and later by students at Wesleyan and Conn College. While VM is still part of the Sahana system, the VMOSS system was spun off as a separate source project earlier this year. It now serves as a standalone volunteer management system that can be separately developed by any group that needs software to manage volunteers.
We have identified the following bugs/features as doable: #194352, #194701. We will post more detailed instructions on how to fix the bug--what files need to be edited, what functions need to be written or modified--on the Sourceforge site.
You should use Google and other search engines to find volunteer management software on the Web and compile a report that lists your finds. The comparative survey should create a list of volunteer management systems with the following information for each system: name, URL, brief text description (which should include such details as system requirements, functionality, etc.), size (large, medium, small), scope (general, specific), open source (yes/no), license (if open source).
