Yip that's about right. We'll be doing call for shows now based on how full the reserve queue is, rather than on free slots in the main queue.

This is implementing something we talked about before but now are in a place where we can implement it.

I'd like thoughts on how to signal that a show can be put into the reserve queue ?

I like it but am not clear on how this differs from the current program. Other than the name change, is it just a matter of automation? Maybe encouraging a shift in focus from the calendar to the reserve queue?

      * The current Emergency Queue would be renamed to the Reserve Queue.
      * If a free slot in the calendar is not filled in time, then a
        show will be used from the Reserve Queue.
      * Shows will be taken from the Reserve Queue on a first in first
        out basis.
      * Hosts can either schedule a show for a particular slot or have
        their shows added to the Reserve Queue.
      * Eventually we will we work on a dedicated upload option, but
        for now hosts can pick a random slot and just make a note in
        the show notes that the show is intended for the Reserve Queue.

    Thoughts ?

    Why yes Ken, one thing springs to mind. Should you not first pick
    hosts who have not submitted a shows recently ?

    Gosh Ken. That is a good point, I'll need to think about that.

    Anyone else ?
