Looking for "Time Bar"-style workgroup scheduler
I'm trying to organize a rehearsal schedule for a local play (Alcott Arts Center, www.alcottartscenter.org; "Taming of the Shrew" (a play about love, anger management, and identity theft), August 22nd and 23rd) in which many of the actors have time limitations on when they are available for rehearsal. Today I was made aware of a system of employee scheduling called "Time Bar", which is represented in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timebar_scheduling I think that this kind of software would be ideal for the complexity of trying to figure out which scenes can be rehearsed on which days, based on the availability of the actors on each day. However, the Wikipedia article does not mention the software application used, and I can't seem to find any application which does "Time Bar" scheduling, Windows or Linux. I was hoping that someone on the list had already begun to use a Linux-based application (or maybe even a Windows application that runs fine in Wine) which does "Time Bar" scheduling.
A lot of project management and collaboration tools support scheduling that automatically looks for time slots where everyone is available. On Windows, you have Microsoft's Outlook and Exchange, and on Linux you have various different ones with different levels of functionality. Evolution seems to have working scheduling, and Thunderbird+Lightning has part of the interface completed for their implementation. ~Bradley Leo Mauler wrote:

gnome Planner mailing list has recent traffic concerning revising their gantt charts; you might be able to get actors and rehearsals supported explicitly as a use case.

If you are looking for a web based one, you might find use in a webapp called dotProject. http://dotproject.net/ -- ~ Mark Gardner ~ *** Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs
