• Authentication of user accounts by admins to confirm user account type
• Donate button or link for specific events on the event calendar
• General donate button or link for PTO
• Store images from events in a cloud rather than putting them in the assets folder (Heroku only allows mmaximum 500Mb)

Current Problems/Bugs that need more attention

• There can be times when Heroku gives a R13 problem. Do a heroku run:detached rake db:migrate. However, this needs more attention as to understand why there is a R13 problem in the first place.
