What is EasyBoard? • The EasyBoard project is an easy-to-use software, designed to manage your time with a very convenient and clear user interface. • Through many different modules, you can have a quick overview on your plans for the future. • You can easily manage your schedule, but can also give tasks, events or ideas to your friends or colleagues.

Overview • This project consists in a merge of many tools we often use in daily life Todo List

Calendar

Chat Client

EasyBoard Idea Box

Application features With EasyBoard, the user will be able to: • Manage his schedule: a simple agenda, where the user can add, edit and remove events.

Application features • Write his own tasks : It is possible to view and edit a task list • Create ideas : through an “Idea Box”. These ideas can be plans for the future, professional suggestions, or simply reminders. • Chat with his friend : a small and simple chat module is available, to discuss about planning changes, new tasks…

Application features • Add idea, event or task from chat : • You can simply drag and drop your elements from your calendar, task list and idea box to the chat • Synchronize calendar, tasks list and ideas • Save, restore and merge your different calendars from a distant server • Save and restore your preferences

Application features • See other friends events, tasks, ideas, by sharing them like a Facebook page • View other agendas : the user can manage a friend list and see their schedule • Add events on his friends’ calendar: a request can be sent to a friend to add an event on his calendar. The requested friend is able to accept it or reject it.

Application requirements • Cross platform (can be used on Windows, Mac Linux, BSD platforms) • Be modular : don’t make Graphical interface be static, allow it to be either used in a Window or used as Widget ( window components) • Focus on application simplicity : make it possible to put calendar, task list, idea box and chat in the same window or use them separately. • In English at least, in Chinese if you have the time!

Technologies used • Client / Server application • You can decide whether to make a web interface or a window client. • Server side can be a web server or a server programmed by yourself • You can use any cross platform technology you want (technologies (C/C++, PHP, Java, python, ruby,…)

Documentation to write • With this project we will provide three type of documentation: • Specifications : a complete documentation of • the project’s goals • Functionalities • used technologies

• Programmer documentation • User documentation • Software help: In the software, we will provide • help menu • tooltips • what’s this popups, etc.

Advice • Java is good to use for a website as well as window applications • Qt is easy to deploy and has good performance • Avoid Microsoft technologies (not really cross platform) • Use Doxygen for code documentation! • Use a software versioning and a revision control system (SVN, Git, Mercurial…)
