IEEE's Information Theory Society (ITSOC), which has been relying on the Plone CMS to coordinate their community efforts, has asked Six Feet Up to create a custom mailer form for their Plone-powered website. The goal is to facilitate email-based collaboration inside the ITSOC community and simplify the management of mailing lists.
Two options are now available for logged-in members when they want to email particular communities, such as a specific committee or the board of governors. Members can either click a button to open up a form and email all members through the web or click another button to use their email software. In this latter case, users' email application opens up with the pre-populated email addresses of all of the specific community members.
With this new feature, the various ITSOC groups can easily manage their mailing lists without the help of a systems administrator.
ITSOC picked Six Feet Up for their expertise in enhancing CMS' and in tailoring sophisticated Plone sites to benefit their organization.
