I'd do it! I'd say what meara said upthread.
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This was volunteer work. It's totally applicable. And you're still maintaining it.
Year ago an employer who asked me for personal references told me "I don't want to hire anyone who can't find three people willing to lie for them."
ita, Allyson totally needs to be your personal reference. Do it.
Oh, I would do it too--and it's totally as you said. You gathered requirements from a diverse and voluble group of users, did the technical work along with a geographically scattered group of volunteers, produced a highly functional, graphically pleasing, and resilient product on an incredibly tight donation-based budget, and continue to provide user support for years afterward. I see EVERY reason why that is applicable.
Were these personal references or specifically work-personal references, ita? Because if it's just personal, Allyson or any number of people would work.

Can you do this SEC application for me?!
Seriously, meara writes all my job applications from now on.
Work-personal, Amy.
I just told the first person here outside of the actual hiring process that I've been offered a position. It was scary. But cool.
meara, dude! You should have been writing my resume this whole time...
Actually, I'm still using a mass Buffista-written cover letter. Power of the internets.
Can you do this SEC application for me?!
Sure, if you drive to Wenatchee tomorrow while I do it! Road trip!!
