Description
This application enables you to manage meetings. You can create, modify and view meetings to come.
Meeting Application Webhome
The Webhome page enables you to see all the meetings scheduled and access their full description. You can also get a calendar view of these meetings from there.

Calendar View
You can see all the meetings whose date and durations have been defined. You can also drag and drop them to change either their start date/hour or their duration.

Create a new Meeting
If you click on "Add an entry" from the WebHome, you would create a new Meeting and you would be able to precise its start date, its duration... If some details still need to be defined, you can put the meeting status to "In preparation", and you would then be able to link this meeting to a poll (it requires the XPoll Application). Thus the other users would be able to give their opinion on whatever detail of the meeting you want. This can be very useful if you want to know who can assist the meeting according to its date for example.
Once the meeting is created you can also send an invitation email to the people you have defined as "participants".

If you want this panel to be displayed, follow the instructions given in the "Prerequisites & Installation Instructions" section.
Notes about previous versions
Versions 1.0 and 1.1 are not available anymore. They were very old, 3+ years and unusable on newer XWiki instalations.
First version created using Application Within Minutes is version 1.2, which was not published with Maven so it's not available with Extension Manager. However, you can download it from the attachments of this page and import it as a xar:
