calendar

Hi all,

I'm excited about building a module that, if designed properly, would useful to others. I see how it might be useful for the development of a human resources department for personnel reviews and really any place where reports or static documents pass from one party to another.

I am building a community site based around an organization. We produce custom reports for many of the community members and provide them through a very simple and custom php app on our website. I want to move this to drupal to take advantage of the other powers to build community, as well as flexibility to improve access to these reports for archive purposes.

This has been floating around in my head for several months, but I've not developed a drupal module before so I crave review, comment and even participation.

I'm working on a couple of sites at the moment that are in this sort of area, and one of the key parts of them is going to be the availability calendar, so site visitors can see at a glance if there are rooms available or not. I've looked at the availability module and also the openresort module and while they are both going in the right direction, neither quite gets all the way there.

We are seeking to create an integrated webinar system that incorporates a catalogue of possible topics, a calendar of sessions and various other resources that can automate the participation process. This system would integrate with a WebX type of program. Anyone out there that has some COD solutions, calendaring or other ways to execute this objective, please come forward:) Taking this to another level would be a virtual tradeshow….

I am making my first effort to use Drupal and am building a new church Website.

I am used to simple hardcoding in HTML and have avoided automated Website
apps because I disliked the cluttered code they produced.

The goal here is to build a site that multiple leaders in the church may help to
keep updated and which will facilitate staff, leader, and small group communications.

The prior contracted person failed to produce something usable and the site is now
many months late on delivery - I need to get some pictures and a calendar and
contact info up quickly.

QUESTIONS:

I write to suggest a Drupal Dojo lesson on setting up Calendar. It is a useful module and a common need, but isn't an intuitive setup "out of the box."
