Tentative roadmap

Done

• make a user profiles system for users to express interest in various subjects.
• make a list of existing features

In process

• Identify key people
• Prepare overall plan
• Gather all the low hanging fruits by reusing existing Tiki features
• Scout for existing implementations & software
• test / adapt trackers to handle event registration

Todo soon

• Upgrade to Tiki 1.10 and use Subscription Tracker Field
• tighter integration between tiki-calendar & tiki tracker.
  1. Example: after confirming participation to an event, I am sent to http://www.phpbeer.com/tiki-index.php?page=&ok=y, instead of staying on this page.
  2. calendar text area should be a wiki page with history & all
  3. when creating an event, there should be a faster/autmagic way to start the tracker (right now, the trackerlist plugin info must be typed in...)
• Add RSS feed tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2 to http://www.linux-quebec.org/cal/
• make a nicer design for this site
• Remote calendars like webcalendar to share calendar data

Feature ideas (for phpbeer)

• Video reports of an event like this example of Yulbiz or yulblog
• http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Calendar and an old calendar ideas page
• Printable view
• People confirm their participation (fix/finish the subscription list feature, written by garygriffin) (we are now using trackers for this, but it would be nice to see how his feature is supposed to work)
• Find an open source version of http://fotonotes.net/ and integrate in the photo album
• adding long/lat (geolocalization) as a field type for trackers: tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=1 to add link to Google or Yahoo maps
• Get directions and calculate distance
• automated e-mail reminders
• sending external email via messu-compose.php
• compare to some other apps
• sending SMS via messu-compose.php
• Point/tracking system to know who participates to a lot of events
• Interact with EVDB, the Events & Venues Database via EVDB Web Services API
• recurring events (Chicago phpbeer is the 3rd Tuesday of every month)
• Use Tiki Workspaces (in Tiki 1.10) to cleanly separate every event's resources. phpBeer Chicago vs Montreal vs others will each have their own discussion forum, photo album, etc.
• Change weekly view to be more like webcalendar & Kronolith
• integrate all the nice features (ex.: reminder popup) from minicalendar to the "Personal Calendar" in the tiki calendar

Workspaces. It allows groups administration of Tiki resources (users, groups, wiki pages, blogs....).
A workspace can be every thing that you define: a course, a student group, a project....

Feature ideas (beyond the needs of phpbeer)

• Handle payments
• Choose best date and 'must-have' VIPs like meetomatic.com
• Vote on location
