Webware: Care to give my employee scheduler a spin?
Care to give my employee scheduler a spin?
by Sporkman - 10/2/07 4:56 PMInspired by some call-center scheduling work I did in a previous job:

Feel free to give it a spin & critique it. It will generate an optimal schedule given a specified workload. Web-based. (No ads or paid stuff, it's just my personal website._
While free, is the source open so when you move on...

Such a service is usually limited to it's owner's attention span.
If this is open source you have my attention.

Sorry, not OSS

Not open source, sorry, though it does run on an open-source OS! 
But it is available as long as the website exists, which I intend to be a long time. Plus it doesn't involve a huge investment on the part of the user, so if the website does perish, the user won't have really lost anything except a free service.
This appears to be why many will pass up such things.

The draw to a free web app that has no source (this has to do with what backup systems there are and more) can't be used in a process for any business.
You wouldn't use an online accounting system like this without the system available when it went offline? Maybe that's what's needed. An offline version.

Sure, but...

An accounting system is something critical to a business, where the business can't operate without it available, and that needs to be available & will be used frequently around the clock.
In the case of this tool, it would be used infrequently, and is not critical to a business's operation, as management can just generate a new schedule by hand, or use another method, though the new method would be more time consuming & would likely yield non-optimal schedules...
Anyways, I get your point. In any event, the tool is free & available for anybody who'd like to use it...
Ok, you win...

...I've open-sourced it.
