Matt Sicker commented on WHIMSY-323:
------------------------------------
I've completed and merged the code for filing an emeritus request from the
existing workflow. Turning this into a self-service form as suggested would be
a great improvement.
> Add a process for handling emeritus requests

> Key: WHIMSY-323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-323
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SecMail
> Reporter: Craig L Russell
> Assignee: Craig L Russell
> Priority: Major
>
> Brainstorming here. The Bylaws say that 10 days after receiving an emeritus
> request, the member should become emeritus unless the request is withdrawn.
> Members should be able to file an emeritus request as easy as a proxy: go to
> a web page, log in with member credentials, fill the form, send it. That same
> page should also remember that an emeritus request was filed and give the
> member the ability to withdraw the request (when the member returns to the
> page, it looks up to see if there is already a pending emeritus request). So
> the request should be put into a well-defined file, say
> documents/emeritus-requests-received. When this is filed, a message should be
> sent to secretary which will show up in the to-do secretary mail, and copied
> to the member. There should be an attachment of the emeritus request that can
> be verified as valid by secretary.
> The subject of the email to secretary should make it clear that this email
> was generated by the whimsy emeritus tool, e.g. subject: Your emeritus
> request has been received
> When the 10 day period is over, secretary can process the request by clicking
> on the email. When the file, e.g. clr-emeritus.txt is clicked, the Categorize
> menu will include the (o) Emeritus button which when clicked, displays a form
> with: Member ID, Member Name, Date fields and (File) button. When the (File)
> button is pressed, the svn commands to move the file from
> documents/emeritus-requests-received to documents/emeritus; the update of the
> members.txt to move the member to emeritus section and update the active
> count, and email to the member with information how to be reinstated etc.
> etc.
> This same tool should also allow for processing of submitted signed
> (holographic or gpg) emeritus requests.
