does this app exist?
We're considering using zope to handle some internal groupware-type functions, with WorldPilot as the base. What we need is the true Outlook killer: scheduling. Any word on this as a feature to WorldPilot or hints on how hard this would be implement? By scheduling, I mean the notion of creating an event, inviting others to it via email or WorldPilot, and booking resources like meeting rooms against it. -- Paul Beard / 206 728 4282 x138 Fizzylab / 2025 First Ave, Suite 1150 Seattle WA 98121

I think the largest obstacle is the lack of a scheduler or timer class in Zope. It simply doesn't create events for you... As far as I can see it's not possible to create a scheduler as a simple product, because it has to run all the time, in the background. thus it actually has to become some part of the Zope server itself. What I can tell you is this: if you develop a "ZScheduler" and it becomes part of the Zope Standard distribution, the Zope community will be VERY glad. greetings, Heiko Stoermer -- heiko.stoermer@innominate.de innominate AG networkingpeople fon: +49.30.308806-0 fax: -77 web: http://innominate.de

ZScheduler already exists, it's just very buggy. Check the mail archives for 'ZScheduler' and have a look at: http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/ZScheduler cheers, Chris
