This plugin was developed for NA Australian Region to support automation of meeting adds/changes/deletes. 
It is designed to reduce the current complex and heavy manual processing of forms by both the form submitter and the service body trusted servants.
For trusted servants, there is now one place that you can see submitted requests and action them, without data reentry into the BMLT Root Server admin console.
For admins, modification of email templates, service committees and email contact details can now be done in the same place, without complex logic in a form builder.
This initial release is specific to the NA Australian Region use case (particularly the FSO/Starter Kit email) but the code is written such that templates are relatively easy to adjust based on feedback from other regions.

Pronounced “my-oh”. Referring to the Spanish word “mayo” which means “May” in English. Mayo Event Manager is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to facilitate the management of events with a focus on community engagement and administrative oversight. This plugin allows users to submit events for approval, supports recurring event schedules, and integrates seamlessly with WordPress’s native features like featured images and custom post types. Mayo is meant to be simple, and does not provide all the functionality of a typical event management system. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a BMLT server to provide a simple way to submit events for a specific service body. Also we will not be implementing a calendar view, but rather a list view. There are plenty of other plugins that provide calendar views, and you can make use of the calendar RSS to import the feeds you want.
Dependency on Pretty Permalinks: The REST API utilizes the same URL rewriting functionalities that pretty permalinks employ to map its human-readable routes (like /wp-json/wp/v2/posts) to the appropriate internal processes. If your site uses the “Plain” permalink setting (which is the default in some cases), the REST API endpoint may not function correctly, leading to 404 errors when attempting to access /wp-json/.
