SimpleRoster
Well, during the development of another project, I hit a delay while I got approved for various bits and pieces. So I spent the time playing supreme commander developing another application based on the same technology.
SimpleRoster is a simple rostering application with the sole purpsoe of trying to be more useful than paper/excel for the purposes of constructing and organising weeky rosters.
It wasn't as easy as it sounds. A weekly roster just isn't that complicated a beast for the most part, and it's difficult to find places where you can actually advance on a piece of paper and a pen.
The major feature is simply that it's always up to date, and accessible from most places. This was the inspiration for the solution, since it was faced by a client of Red Spider and they were after a solution, too many last-minute changes to rosters meant that reception rarely knew where someone was to forward their calls.
To be quite honest, I don't expect it to be a terrific success, it just isn't that "wow" a problem/solution. It did, however, give me a chance to get a lot of new tech (Turbogears based) out and live so that I could be sure I had got all the bugs out.
