It seems to me that the best place to start with the event stuff is to first understand what is there now.
It appears that there may be some functionality that is not enabled out-of-the-box -- perhaps stuff that is just not integrated into the views. Here is the functionality that is obvious to me: The administrator can add, edit, and delete events. Events can have start/end times/dates, titles, and descriptions. These attributes are displayed in the Event list. In the add/edit views there is a field for Location, although I'm not sure how this is used -- it is not displayed anywhere that I noticed. 1. Is it only possible for administrators to add/edit/delete events? Can moderators and/or members? 2. How is the location attribute used? 3. The Event model has a user_id field -- how is this used? 4. The Event model has a metro_area_id field -- how is this used? 5. Is there any other functionality that exists out-of-the-box? Some of this stuff may only be known to Bruno. Thoughts?
