[odb-help] List of States where groups are using ODB

[Rich Cowan]

Good News:

1) Based on the testing reports, we have fixed all the bugs our
testers found in the new 0.9.3 version of ODB.  Assuming we have
no reports of problems, this version will be made the "real"
version by Monday.  Those who got a download link should just
use that same download link again to preview this new version.

What was fixed recently that affects existing users?
Just two things:

-- possibility of ODB quitting due to low memory if you enter
     a large pile (over 25) donations.

--  "&" character used in the ODB setting vidlabel or srclabel was not
     hidden in places, like message boxes, where it should have been
     hidden.


2) Based on all of your reports, we are getting a better idea about
who is using ODB.  Based on your reports, we now have verified
groups using Organizers' Database in:

Arizona
California
Colorado
Connecticut
District of Columbia
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Massachusetts
Maryland
Maine
Michigan
Missouri
Mississippi
Montana
North Carolina
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Texas
Virginia
Vermont
Washington

26 states so far.  Did I miss anyone?

Note that this list omits a few states where we do
have consultants who know how to work with ODB;
This only includes states where groups have
actually installed ODB and use it daily.

p.s. Several other things were fixed this week that only applied to the
unreleased 0.9.3.  They relate to lining up fields during Import, high donor
protection not working properly, the Donation history coming up when
the contact info should show, and the printing of the "country" field.
