Re: Fwd: Re: Volunteers for the membership committee

[Baris Cicek <baris teamforce name tr>]

I'll update the codes and database tomorrow morning after getting
backups of current state. We better make a small closed 'election test'
to see if things are working properly. 

I'll let you know about details tomorrow, I will most probably send a
mail containing tmp tokens for those on the previous cc-list. 

Hopefully fixes will only be about amends on texts at web front. 

Regards,
Baris.
