Project Description

The Scooby2beDue Team will design and develop a "To-Do List Manager" as a Java applet. This manager will have the similar functionality as other currently-available personal organizers or day planners but will have the added feature that both the program and each user's data files will be available from anywhere in the world via the World Wide Web.

The Scooby2beDue To-Do List will support far more than the most basic to-do list functionality of adding and removing reminders of things that the user may need to accomplish. It will also allow users to include the date that each item is due, and set a priority for each one. The list may then be sorted and diplayed based on priority (the default), due date or creation date. The applet will also support the concept of "groups", where list items may be separated into logical subsets or groups and then displayed sorted based on group. List items may be edited at any time to correct typos or to reflect changes in circumstances.

The data for the Scooby2beDue To-Do List will be stored in each user's home directory on the College of Computing filesystem in a file named ".todolist". Because the applet uses telnet to log into the WWW server based on the user ID and password given by the user, each user needs to have telnet access to the WWW server.

This project is one of the mini-projects being developed as part of the CyberDesk project.
