Open martian-a opened 13 years ago

Add a feature that allows people to build a list of talks that they want to attend; a personalised schedule.

This has been a recurring topic of conversation during and after BCL9. [This would be] very useful [and by] marking talks you want to go to [...] we can work out scheduling stuff better. That is, if we've got a talk with 50 stars in a room for 40 people and another talk with only 5 stars in a room for 100 people, it would make sense to swap the two (obviously, notifying that person too would be helpful - perhaps a reason to integrate with Twitter or ask for the person to provide an e-mail address or mobile number for notifications).

The session flagging idea is an excellent one and would be very useful for marking which session(s) you are interested in and which you went to.

Of course the signing in thing wouldn't just be for notifications as there would have to be the concept of a user to tie the flags to whether they were identifiable or anonymous based on a session id or whatever. Really though I think it would be more beneficial to have identifiable users than to provide this functionality to the few who would object to having to sign in. I'm not sure forcing the user to sign in with twitter is that good a move, however. There should probably be an option of a quick sign in with twitter or a full native registration. I have a little experience with this kind of user journey having working on the BBC's single sign on system, and am happy to work out flows and edge cases :)
