Functional specification

Login screen

Here the user can login by specifying their username. There are no passwords for this system.

Event list screen

Here all events in the system are listed.

Event creation screen

Here a user can create an event by specifying an event name, earliest date and latest date.

Event screen

Here the current availability of everyone in the system is reported and candidate dates are reported.

Availability screen

Here a user can nominate their availability.

  • Y: Yes, available
  • N: No, not available
  • M: Maybe available

By default if a user has not made a specific nomination for a date then it is considered a 'maybe'.

When users save their preferences they get written to a file. If the user returns to the screen the saved file is reloaded into their browser.

Technical specification

System implemented in PHP with a file-system based backend.
