Some improvements suggested for emeritus work flow
I'd like some feedback on this proposal.
My objective in this project was and still is to allow members to easily if not trivially change their status to emeritus. A secondary objective is to make Secretary's work flow as easy as practical.
So, I'd like feedback specifically on having the (request emeritus status) button on the member's __self__ page to automatically file the request document in emeritus-requests-received and send notice to secretary. Secretary would not need to do anything until the 10 day rescission period has ended, at which point Secretary would use a tool to make the member emeritus. Tooling is not the important feedback request here.
Anyone have an opinion?
Thanks,
Craig

OK, so not an issue.

Or just replace the file with the new version.
Much the same effect, but easier to follow the history.

The roster __self__ tool will not allow filing a second request. The (request emeritus status) button is only available if the user is active without a pending request. [1]
So the second request can only occur if the member files a request manually. By sending mail to secretary. Which has never happened during the last 15 years that I've been paying attention.

Also, we can consider removing the emeritus-requests-rescinded files after some time to avoid duplicates if the member subsequently files another request that is also rescinded.

Auto-filing seems OK to me.
If the member files a second request before the first has been
processed, I think there are 2 options:
- reject the second attempt.
- replace the file with the new one. This may cause the 10 day period to reset.
I don't see any value in keeping multiple copies of the request online at once.
SVN will give access to earlier versions if really necessary.
