Subject: Chat room scheduler...

Written By: ChuckyG on 11/1/1999 at 11:19 a.m.

Ok, I tried looking around to see if anything was written to automatically schedule chat times, and it appears no one else has thought of it (or at least hasn't released the code if they did).

So, what I need to do, is figure out what it needs to do, how it should look, etc.

My thoughts:

1) Weekly view, 7 days displayed at a time, probably a top down table

2) Verified email users, in order to use it, you need a valid email address, to prevent someone from posting a ton of messages saying they'll be there when in fact they're just spamming, email address only viewable by the admin (ie. ME!)

3) Ability to add a comment next to scheduled time&day

4) ability to schedule up to two weeks in advance

Is there anything else it should need other than this?

That sounds like a winning idea to me!
