I'd say that this makes sense as an iteration-1 goal for the larger 
EPP.  This would then be available for use after the first 3-4 weeks 
from the point where we have people willing to code the software.  I 
suspect that would be a reasonable timeframe, and the only significant 
delay involved would be the current issue of trying to find people 
willing to write the code, which is something you'd have to deal with 
just to build the smaller option by itself.

None the less, I'd like to suggest a third, relatively trivial,
possible
 
project.
 
 
As a subset of the Installfest project, I'd like to see a database of
 
information about installfest volunteers, which would enable
 
participants to find the appropriate people for answers to the myriad
of
 
questions that inevitably pop up. Kind of a "who's who" and "who knows
 
what" application. This could be be applied to plug members in general
 
too (and even installfest participants). Once in place, I think that
 
each volunteer or plug member could maintain their own information via
 
the web site.
 
 
The database should provide two basic outputs. First is a
 
searchable/sortable list of people, and second would be some sort of
 
name tags. Personally, I'm terrible with names, and I think that they'd
 
be a nice addition to installfests, and meetings too.
 
 
Thoughts / ideas?
