With the newly posted question regarding SalesForce I thought I would dredge up this conversation from late 2016 that discussed both CiviCRM as well as Vtracklery. I for one am interested in hearing more from Matthew at the Recyclerly as to how Vtracklery 2.0 is coming along (if at all) as it seems like a prime solution to meet needs and opportunities that we have at the Bozeman Bike Kitchen.

Get your typing fingers ready! It's back! http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=February_2017_Wiki_Cont… Updating/making the wiki page for your own community bike shop is totally ok. I will send one fair trade chocolate bar each to two top editors of the bike collectives wiki in the month of February. Anywhere in the world. I will be considering both the (subjective) quality and (objective) quantity of edits made during the month of February. There is a chocolate bar each for: - top editor of anywhere on the wiki found at http://www.bikecollectives. org/wiki/ - top editor of the main page <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page> And for *anyone* who makes their first 3 edits during the month of February 2017, send me an email with your mailing address and I will mail you an old-fangled handwritten note in a thank you card with at least one doodle on it.
