Hey there Kieran,

Thanks for the ping. Indeed, Civicspace has improved dramatically over the last two years — so kudos to your and your team — and, as noted in my post, I’m anxious to put Civicspace on Demand to use with an organization that needs that kind of functionality, and reliability.

For Canadian groups, here are my suggestions (Just off the top of my head — and meant as constructive input) :

• Make Internationalization available: and point people to some basic How-to informatioin on getting basic content translation up-and-running (most large campaigns in Canada are going to need to be bi-lingual).

• Separate the Provinces from the States in all CiviCRM-related select lists: we’re used to seeing them either before or after the states (not intermixed) — so it would be good to follow that convention.

• Postal code to “riding” look-up: similar to the US Zip code to district look-up, it would be great to see a similar database availble in Canada. (Of course, I’m not asking Civicspace for this — there are many folks up here working on it — but I hope that it will integrate when it does become available!)

All that said: Civicspace is an incredible tool kit for any organizatoin and I’ll be promoting it widely, and hopefully helping you to push it further into the hands of Canadian organizations.

Best,

Phillip.
