Hi, it would be both great and really usefull if we could get a task system.
Where users or Groups can give eachother comments and tasks,
maybe somehow connected to a callendar?
I know i have been posting a lot lately,
and i just want to thank for all the help and advice i have gotten here.
I really do Love the software!!

Thanks for your support.
We don't have a plugin to do it yet.
It is really complex to manage.
Can we try to be basic as much to begin.
Could you describe what you could expect?
1 - On which page we could set a button or a direct form to add a task?
2 - Alerting? Who? When? How? About?
3 - Individual task lists (several but only one to start) available from? Which page? index or calendar.
4 - Setting completed and/or removal?
5 - Webmaster global view?

Well, take my environment for example.
We are a team of 5-6 people working on a magazine. It contains a lot of images, and text.
Piwigo is perfect in sorting and ordering our images. With tags, categories and search functions.
A magazine is a lot of work, and through the day I get a lot of requests by the other workers.
Can you draw this? Could you one day take a picture of that? We need to buy more coffee! Can you remove this car in photoshop?
I also give the other workers tasks. They also have tasks that they need to give themselves.
And so forth..
Our Piwigo-page is now the homepage of everyone here and we are excited to see if it will cut our production-time.
Now; I would imagine a new block, with a dropdown menu containing all the users in a specific group. (or just a new link in the menu block)
when selecting a user, a text-field loads where the galleries are displayed. Like in the plug-in "contact form"
Text can be inserted in to the form, there is a tiny calendar to set the date and time with (when the task must be finished)
and a submit button.
On the menu should be another link, or in the same block as the "create new task" named "my tasks"
On clicking this button, an easy to read sheet or calendar should appear with information about;
Received tasks, users who submitted the task, a preview sentence or two from the task, date and time of creation and end of task,
and a drop-down menu containing "working" "ignored" and "completed"
Upon creating a task for a user a mail could be sent to user, and upon completion of task, a mail could be sent to the task-giver.
If the tasks get their own block, I would also suggest showing the title of the 3 tasks ending soonest.
I made a mock-up of what i think would work.
It might be a lot of work, but it would be really useful. I know at least 5 people here who would use it ;)
Thanks for listening (reading)

It sounds quite clear even if interrested developpers could need more later.
Currently many of us are testing and preparing the new release.
One could find fun with it and turn it as a new plugin.
Wait and see.
Thanks.

Wohoo! That would make my day! (I should think others could find a use for this too.)
Im crossing my fingers and hoping someone finds time!
Thanks

So now that people are settling in to piwigo 2.11 we can start talking about this feature again huh? Cause it would be a really great tool.

How hard or even doable is it to integrate such a system nicely in to Piwigo,
or have it as a plugin for Piwigo?
