Our system is targeted toward the English speaking non-technical population with special emphasis on three user groups: students, businesspeople, and families.
Students:
Businesspeople:
Businesspeople have the unique need of blending their work lives with their personal lives. Even if one does not use a work calendar for personal appointments, often
a user will want to schedule personal goals, events, or notes that are separate from business activities and should not be shared.
A woman I spoke to who uses Microsoft Outlook's calendar for work complained that she was unable to click on a particular day and type a personal reminder to herself.
She would like to be able to add notes in her application's calendar, just like as would jot down a note to herself in her physical calendar. These notes should be separate
from the company calendar.
Although our different user groups have varying levels of technical competence, we will gear our application toward people who have basic web experience.
Students: Students, who are between 14 and 22 years old, would use a calendar to organize class, homework, employment, and extra-curricular schedules.
Businesspeople: Businesspeople, who are between 20 and 70 years old, need calendars to keep track own schedules and of those of their employees, clients, and colleges.
Families: Family organizers, who are likely to be mothers, will require less rigid event definitions, which will often the from of to-do lists rather than events with start and end times.Families:
