Adding/Removing People to/from the Mailing Lists
On the "Board Member Sign-in" page, there's a link to "ATS-info mailing list management" (or ATS-discuss, depending on which list you want to edit). Click on it, enter the password, and then click the "Ats-info (discuss) administrative interface" link.
This will take you to the main page. To add/remove someone from the list, click the "Membership Management" link. It's pretty straightforward from there, just choose "Mass Subscription" or "Mass Removal" and follow the directions. Copy/paste the blurb (see below) into the blank space for messages.
Another thing you all should know is the difference between ats-info and ats-discuss. Info is the general list only for official ats events, whereas discuss is more open (a bit higher traffic) to include other Taiwanese clubs around the area, other Asian events going on, career opportunities, etc...
Mailing List Addition Blurb
Welcome!
You've been added to the ats-info mailing list. If this has been done by mistake, please email Ana at agchen@mit.edu and let her know.
ats-info is the list for emails about official Association of Taiwanese Student events-- Xifan Sundays, Dimsum Runs, Nightmarket, Strait to Taiwan, Hot Pot-- all that good stuff. :)
We also have another list, ats-discuss, which is for informing members about other Taiwan- and Asia- related opportunities and events-- intercollegiate events, career opportunities, events of other student organizations at MIT, etc.-- as well as for sending out other interesting Taiwan-related things we stumble upon. :) It is a bit more open and higher traffic, but still moderated.
If you'd like to be added to that list, it's quick and easy. Just follow the link here: http://scripts.mit.edu/%7Emitats/events.MailDiscuss.php (you'll need MIT certificates).
As usual, any questions/comments/concerns-- email ats-exec@mit.edu!
Thanks,
ATS exec
Main Website
Webmasters, I made this section in the wiki so that we can keep track of what's been done and what needs to be worked on. Please edit this section as necessary and direct new webmasters to this section so that they can keep notes here.

The website has been cleaned up and a new theme and splash page has been put in place. Some short term and long term projects that can be worked on:
- Improve RSVP system
What I had in mind was: An exec member can go into the exec portal and create an RSVP to an existing event. Any open RSVPs will be displayed on the Events page. As long as an RSVP is open, people can sign up using certificates and view who else has signed up. Exec members will be able to close RSVPs (or set a date so that the RSVP automatically closes). Once an RSVP is closed, people can see who has signed up but nobody can sign up/unsign up anymore. Once the event has passed, the RSVP can be deleted so that it no longer shows up on the Events page.
How I might have coded the backend: There will be 2 tables: a table for RSVPs and a table for people's responses. Each RSVP will have an identifier and a open/closed status. Each response will have a person's name and the identifier of the RSVP that he/she is responding to.
- Start making use of news postings
- Start cleaning up the wiki: The pages for Fall 2010 and Spring 2010 events can be deleted, and any useful information in those pages should be merged into the corresponding events pages in the ATS Bible section
Some longer term ideas
- Rearrange homepage for less cluttered and more efficient layout
- Section on website for family trees
