Welcome to Wiki - TheFutureOfAct

A holding pen for ideas, for the moment.

DrForr just ran across KonOpas which is a convention scheduling display tool used for WorldCon. Open source and has the fun JS and infinite scrolling fu that people seem to have come to expect from their websites.
DrForr also has some notions as to how to do scheduling. Interactive tools like Google Spreadsheets and Trello boards are good, but are too inflexible and too variable for scheduling needs. Cells should be sized based on their duration, not their title. And being able to pin cells to a fixed grid such as what you get with hashgrid.js lets you visualize the schedule layout much more cleanly.
