3 Hey guys, I heard there was this app called [Doodle](http://www.doodle.com/main.html). It's closed source. Let's make an open-source Doodle killer and call it Clockworks!
5 We have a mailing list - if you're interested in helping design the app, or if you just want to hear more about what we're up to, just blanche yourself onto **clockworks**.
9 Our Git repository is located in AFS in the clockworks locker: /mit/clockworks/clockworks.git
13 Doodle clone. 100% duplication of Doodle functionality. Modifications to improve usability as necessary.
15 What do people not like about Doodle?
18 * No obvious "I can, but would rather not"
22 * Configure the default TurboGears scaffolding (ezyang)
23 * Work through the [TurboGears tutorial](http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Wiki20/Page1) (the tutorial seems to focus on SQLObject, which is not necessarily the best thing. Maybe someone can find some better docs?)
24 * Setup database configuration and installer (an auxiliary issue is the presence of an installer for people). Also, make sure SQLAlchemy is being used
26 * Make sure the default scaffolding works on Scripts (this includes running TurboGears as CGI). Any work done here should be considered for a TurboGears auto-installer, the equivalent of tgsetup)
27 * Write a .gitignore file for generated/not versionable items
28 * Get friendly URLs working
29 * Learn TurboGear's templating interface (ezyang would like XSLT, but I don't think anyone else will let him use that)
30 * Setup a zephyrbot that watches the repository (pbaranay)
34 * Python and Turbogears
36 * Use 15 minute timeslices to simplify interface (?)
46 To be transferred from the whiteboard
50 List of "screens" in Doodle
53 * Help pages (screencasts, interactive JavaScript, etc.)
54 * Schedule event (should be one-page-able)
55 * General info (title, description, name, email)
56 * Days (calendar, should be AJAX)
57 * Times (timezone (JS fill-in), add more timeslots, copypaste first row)
58 * Options (yes-no-ifneedbe, hidden poll, limit OKs)
59 * Poll created (admin, participant links)
60 * View poll (timezone, name, times, information, functions)
61 * Edit entry (completely wiki!)
64 * Calendar export (both ways)
65 * File export (excel, pdf)
66 * Subscribe (atom, and then social feed services)
68 * Admin poll (participation link)
69 * Edit poll (all original options)
71 * Delete all participants/comments
76 Doodle killer. Extra features. Pump it up.
79 * Basic: integration with ICS calendars, GoogleCalendar, Exchange, and TechTime (for faculty)
80 * Advanced: integration with MIT's course schedules, Facebook
81 * Would store persistent profiles of calendar data for users
82 * Automatically prioritize and schedule events for you
83 * Create mobile phone friendly version
