There are a few possible avenues for implementing this.
  • We already have the OOC character sheet that members can fill in, which could be extended to cover additional information.
  • The information could go into the Roster Control Panel for everyone, which would lend itself to some more automated making-pretty.
  • I also still have the automated query on my ToDo list which extracts members' time zones from the forum.
The last two points however are blocked by the fact that we would like to move to a new forum, so implementing those now would double the work again later when we perform the actual move. Moving over however depends on a functional event calendar for phpBB 3, something which doesn't yet seem to exist. Also, the first two solutions have the problem that Chaos mentions -- being dependent on 280 members to all go to a page and fill in the information. There are ways to force people to do so, but I believe we're not very big on doing that.
