As a startup private school, we will be runnning on a shoe string. We are also trying to build a community. To do this we ask our constituents not for money but for time. We want to be able to track:
* The level of commitment. E.g. Interested watcher, occaisional helper, 1/2 day per month, 1 day per month, 2 days per month, 4 days per month, whenever needed.
* The times they can help. Evenings, weekends, saturday but not sunday...
* The classes of things they can do: phone tree, data entry, tutoring, public speaking, outdoor events, work around the school. Many of these would have sub panels. E.g. Tutoring may have grades and subjects that the person is good at.
* Skill levels.

We want a user to be able to do things like "pledge 2 weekends a month" for "teaching natural history in the parks" or "1 canoe expedition per year" as "cook and steersman"

We want a way to be able to follow up on these pledges -- how reliable are they at following through. How good a job did they do? Recommendations for future use.

Finally we need a place to make notes of a confidential nature on these:
"Do not let this person loose with paintbrush." "John's opinion of his naviagation skills exceeds his ability" ideally in a way that that access to these records is different from the main records. (So we can use casual volunteers for doing 98% of updates, without revealing confidential assessments.

Is ODB the right application for what I want to do?
