Suggestions for work / brainstorming

- How do we model recurring and ongoing activities? One item per event, or some kind of aggregate item for a longer time period? If you want to include metrics, should they match how these are reported (such as to WMF)?
- How do we model community projects, with participation of both an affiliate and volunteers?
- How do we model financial data?
