Filter rooms in AJAX by timeslot availability #458

Open jmoldow opened 11 years ago

jmoldow commented 11 years ago

From MIT: "Sorting classrooms in ajax by availability at a given time"

A possible extension to this -- combine this with existing filter capabilities, but rather than fully filtering out classes that don't match (we frequently can't find a classroom that matches perfectly) we should have weights for each filter parameter and sort the classrooms by closeness to the filter parameters (probably a simple weighted sum of normalized distances squared). We can highlight at the top any classrooms that fully match the filter query.

Whoa, that would be really awesome actually.
