Plan for the alumni website

Aniruddha Jinturkar and I had a long chat on building our website. Based on our discussion we came up with the following plan and wanted to run through you guys. The list is prioritised based on what we felt was important and easily achievable. If we can show some small wins, I am sure we will be able to generate more interest and contribution from other people as well.

1. Collect and publish information about our school. History, progress through times, changes, growth etc. If we can get biographies of key members in the build-up of our school to its current status, like for example chairmen and trustees
2. Collect and publish lists of teachers starting from the current group going back to the first teachers. If we can put a small biography of each one, that would be super.
3. List down prominent students with their biographies. Starting with students who have gone on to become some famous personality and then drilling down to meritorious students of each year and then drilling down to each student as much as we can. This will take a lot of effort and coordination and is therefore at the bottom of list. This would be easily feasible once we get the community involved in this.

To assist in building the student database, we are building a spread sheet with names, contact numbers, email addresses, year they passed out from school / college and their current location. Many of you have registered on the website, but at this moment I don't have a mechanism to store the information on the website securely. My request to all you guys is to send me your and your friends' contact information containing the detail.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE. It is not secured and may be harvested. I don't want people to suffer. Instead, send the information in an email to me / group and we will update the spread sheet. We will also publish the numbers and possibly names of the people of who we have the details. So please take some time out and send us the details as much as you can.

CHEERS!!!
