Project: Temple mini-sites

Purpose:
To date there is no complete list online that gives information on Jain temples/centers/groups across the US. While some temples have their own website, many do not and people look to YJA/JAINA to provide this information. For this reason, YJA will create a web-database which allows regional and local coordinators to create and administer mini-websites for each temple.

Description:
A web application will be developed that easily allows creation and administration of dynamic websites for each Jain temple/center/group in the US. Features include:
1. Basic Temple info and adult/youth contacts
2. Address/directions
3. An events calendar
4. News updates
5. Photo gallery
6. Coordination with Jainster to show members of temples
7. Information of temples services(for example: patshala classes)
8. Options to allow users to subscribe to news/events
9. Admin controls for trusted members to create and edit content

Status:
http://jainster.org/jainster3/html/temples.php

Milestones:

March 1:	Code for web application is completed.
July 1:	Basic information for each temple/group and local contacts will be input into the site. Regional Coordinators will work with local youth to start adding news and events.
July 1:	IT team will work with Regional coordinators to provide any other functionality. Site will become fully operational
