[Ambassadors] Call for tester/feedback on fedocal

[Zoltan Hoppar]

I would like to raise my hand to be your testing lab rat for this project.
I really happy to see this application running, and I have tons of idea
around this. First of it we ambassadors we already have an schedule, what
is made by our program manager. That would be nice addition to have it here
to be synchronized..... But, I try to gather my ideas (without in order):

- Pushing immediate reminders (nudge) with fedmsg
- First direct filtering after login based on region and team membership
necessary
- Further filtering based on events, or trac tickets.
- Include Holiday markings (and weekends), so with that you can prevent
collisions, coverings with other meetings
- Colouring on filtered list
- Export possibility from web (save as pdf, ical, etc) - or sync online to
an local app
- Local app on the user machine, that syncs to this web app - able to add
$meetings, $events to fedlocal (I recommend Geary http://yorba.org/geary/,
because it behaves as RSS like and it can be a nice common UI for mails,
reminders, dates, tasks, shedule, requests, and more - deeply modular)
- Whenisgood.net like ability for planning - *http://whenisgood.net/

*Thats all for now... What do you think?
