About the Software |
Conflict Solver is Open Source resource scheduling software targeted at supporting "room reservations" for small organisations (particularly those renting out rooms and needing to avoid booking conflicts). It is a single-user application which allows you to book resources (rooms, audiovisual equipment, and potentially staff) for users you define within the system, see what resources are in conflict, and maintain contact information for each user. The software is designed to support small-scale implementations of up to a few hundred resources with as many as a few hundred events/day. It is written to be cross-platform, using Python 2.2, wxPython 2.3.3 and ZODB 4, but is not currently tested on platforms other than Windows 2000 and Windows 98. Currently in late alpha release for the 1.0 version, the product is currently being tested for day-to-day use, but isn't ready for non-evaluation purposes. It does contain most of the code intended to be included in the 1.0 final release. Development can be tracked through the project page. |
