Today I proposed a product plan [1] for Event Tool based on the two Sept. 6 metrics posts—here [2] and here [3]—that I brought to this list a few weeks ago. The proposed program of work is designed to turn Grant Metrics into a simple but capable tool that will meet the metics needs of most event organizers—a “one-stop shop,” as one organizer called it, for getting the data that many organizers now laboriously assemble from multiple sources.

I’ve called the project laid out in the two posts reference above “ambitious but achievable,” and I think that’s a good description. Now it’s your turn again: does this direction look right? Is there anything we can add that would make it work better for you? And—since it’s possible we won’t get to everything—are there any features here you think we could drop or put on our low-priority list? If you have ideas or questions, now is the time to bring them forward. We’re listening!
