Template:Infobox Volunteer Based Organisations/doc


 * Description
 * This template is used to create a Volunteer Based Organisations infobox.

Here is what data we are collecting at the moment:
 * Number of Active Members: this would be the people who are actually going to the meetings, contribute with volunteer work of any sort.
 * Number of Followers: this would be people who are interested in the activities of the group, possibly tag along to events, some of them would be the ones who contribute with donations. For this information I am going to use facebook likes, google+ +1, mailing lists etc. as an indication of interest. Possibly should indicate which one was used. g+ for google, fb for facebook.
 * Budget: money they have available to use. This in most cases is the money they manage to collect or have set aside to work with.
 * Need More Funding: just a quick indication for those who are looking to spend some spare coin on something cool. Usually space programs are always in need for additional funding.
 * Source of Funds: where does the money for their activities come from? adds, own pockets, donations, investors, selling products, tax.
 * Activities: what are they working on at the moment. Just give key words like satellites, rocketry, media. Some of the organisations are just spreading news, others are manufacturing rocket parts, and some will be volunteer groups working on high altitude balloons.
 * Contribution options: not all the entries will be about organisations that allow contributions. But hopefully a lot of them have some ways of involving the general public. Though I guess in case of private companies one can just buy products that one knows are part of the source of the funds the company uses for it's activities.
 * Location: city and country is enough. This is to help people find local groups, and also for the rest of us to see how we are distributed on the globe.
 * Website: Just one link to their webpage, or blog, or facebook, or google+.
 * Data Updated: Just to keep it obvious how old the entry is.

Other notes: The template is still a work in progress, it itself needs work done on. I am not sure how uselful this data will be.
