After the meeting, comments or minutes can be recorded against specific items to allow better tracking (keywords, etc) 4. Also, and the main focus of this module, individual action points can be added and assigned to users. 5. In a way similar to case tracker, people can then leave comments and mark tasks when they're done. 6. At the next meeting, it should be easy to keep a track of what's actually been done, and see what's dragging on.

- I was looking at making meeting node types extensions of event types, to keep all that functionality. - Two basic new node types would be involved - Action Point and Meeting. - I was thinking of using taxonomy to track things like meeting groups. - For action point entry, I was visualising posting them as a plain text list, which then gets parsed and each line added as a node.
As I've already stressed, any and all input welcomed, even if it's a case of 'don't bother because of X reason'.
I hate to be that guy, but you could get pretty darn close with CCK using nodereference and userreference fields and viewfield. If anything a few of your points may require an extension to CCK, but that would require much less code than starting from scratch. -Mike __________________ Michael Prasuhn mike@mikeyp.net http://mikeyp.net 714.356.0168
