Project Leads

• Project event kits (some way to host them)
• Project leads can be event organizers
• Link to / promote assets (slides, etc)
• Some way to indicate production "asks" (thinks I need people to do)
• View project specific activity across multiple events.

Event Organizers

• Copy page - What is organizing an event like?
• Big action ask on page - "Organize / Host an event" (verbage tbd)
• Simple form with a lot of autocomplete fields:

 * Title
 * Date
 * Location
 * Goals
 * Description (Free form text area)

• As few required fields as possible. Allow anonymous users to create events, then log in / sign up before it's published.
• Try to obtain as much social data as possible (hashtag, fb event page, etc). Hope to use that info to automate some aggregation and metrics gathering.
• Offload registration (meetup, eventbrite, etc).
• Helper text pointing people to a beautified version of event kit
• Rich media support (photos, videos, etc)
• Event series (is this part of a series of events)

Metrics

• # of people attending
• specific user stories
• # of tasks completed per event, per project over time
