New idea: Get a new registration/calendaring system?

[ACharbonneau]

• A public calendar that users with no login can see and use to sign up for things
• A semi-public option that lets us have some events only appear to members
• The 'personal' calendar or reservation button that lists all the things you have signed up for
• When you sign up, you should get a confirmation email
• Support for zoom locations
• confirmation email and calendar lets user get an .ics file
• Ability for multiple people to set up and edit events
• Ability for us to export registration list and waitlist as a csv
• Waitlist feature: let them sign up and tells them they are waitlisted. adds them to a waitlist list with their email so we can contact them if a spot opens
• timezone: default timezone set to EST
• History of registrants/events so we can go download old info
• Be able to email organizer whenever there is a registration for a specific event
• have the ability to charge a fee for events if necessary and connect to some fee collection service
• have a user be able to book themselves in recurrent events all at once
• registration form templates: be able to duplicate old events and just update details or set up a template that we can reuse with basic information
• be able to sign up for this calendar/be notified when new trainings are added to calendar
• a calendar subscription feed/widget thing so we could show the calendar on other websites

We should be able to pay for new features if that's the way we make it happen

For our next meeting:

• @abhijna will send out a poll to find a time for the week of April 26th
• Once she has a time, she'll give it to @RLC-DCPPC and he'll make the meeting
• For that meeting, Katie will have:
  • checked to see whether it is better to try to add all the requested features from the other issues already described in this repo or to just find a new plugin that is closer to what we now need
  • If we're going to switch to a new plugin, come with a some options for new plugins so that we can decide which one best fits our requirements above (presumably there won't be something that does everything we want out of the box)
  • If we're going to use a paid version of our current plugin (or a new plug in) have some cost estimates for it/them

Hello, please fill out this doodle poll to find a meeting time for the week of April 26
@ACharbonneau @kcamloyd and @RLC-DCPPC

We're going to put off meeting for a bit. Katie thinks that the pro version of the plugin we have should work: http://wp-events-plugin.com/

So for the near future, Bob will figure out the paying for it bit, Abhijna will look at the plugin so we have clear ideas of what features we want and how we'd like them configured. And we'll all meet up about it later :)
