Hi Avi,
A few apps I can think of will do some of what you need as well a lot of
other stuff that your probably do not:
OpenERP - Has full calendar/scheduling (mainly used in Sales or Project
management context) would probably do what you need (Python). Has
CalDAV/Ical support so you can sync to iPhone/Lightning etc.
Horde - (http://www.horde.org) similar to above I guess in that it is a
groupware app. Not sure about functionality haven't used it ages (PHP).
eHour (http://www.ehour.nl) - More of a timesheet app but a nice UI and
might do what you need (Java/tomcat).
Chandler/Cosmo - Although now a bit old this might be good:
http://chandlerproject.org/ Chandler is a desktop app for time
management plus there is a multi-user calendar server (CalDAV).
There are probably more but these are off the top of my head.
Thought about just using a shared Google Calendar too?
Cheers
Al

Morning All,
I'm after some scheduling software, and I'm sure other people have
scratched this itch previously. Having never really used any before I'm
not precisely sure what I want, but the situation is that we have some
people available to do work, and some people scheduling work in. There's
quite a large intersection of the two groups.
I've made a list of all the features I can think of that I'd like, but
this probably isn't exhaustive. Only absolute must haves are that it's
both sorts of free and we can host it ourselves.
Features I know I'd like:
* Each of the people in the 'doing work' group have an ical or similar
feed containing work for them
* An ical feed that shows *all* the scheduled work.
* Email reminders. Being able to run arbitrary scripts as reminders
would be good too.
* A simple interface - having people actually use the thing is way more
important than pretty effects.
Would-be-nices:
* Ability to assign work based on time (X is covering from 0100 - 0600,
so this job at 0300 automatically goes to X)
* Ability to script entries, so we can concoct our own interfaces/tie it
in with other systems.
* Sit on a webserver in php or perl so I can easily tie it in to the
other http auth'd bits and pieces we have. It'll have a VM to itself so
tomcat or whatever's doable too. I can't envisage a good-but-not-HTTP
means of access, but I'm open to suggestions.
Anyone got any suggestions?
