I had nothing to do on a rainy afternoon so I wrote some code to massage the massive spreadsheets produced by the Green Seattle Partnership’s Cedar system, where all our volunteer hours and work logs are supposedly entered. I had been suggesting all kinds of fixes to Cedar, and sounding like a real complainer. So why not actually prototype something as a suggestion? The picture below is a screen-shot from the resulting pdf file. The system I set up can produce this summary for any of the hundred (or so) parks and natural areas that the GSP manages.
