Altru Ideas

I'm thinking that a change to the volunteer's availability in the volunteer module should affect whether or not a volunteer is considered active in their constituent record. I spent a good amount of time changing their availability date, thinking it would effectively make someone inactive if they weren't available past a certain date, but it turns out one has to do this in their constituent record, not their volunteer record. Is there anyone who works almost exclusively in the volunteer module and would prefer a way to render someone active or inactive there rather than in the constituent record (or at least have the two modules "talk" to each other better)?
