New plugin based on meeting room calendar

[pharao45]

Hello, it's me, again :)

Many companies are making vacation schedule in January and I have an idea for a new plugin which will be very similiar to this one. The aim of the plugin would be enable scheduling employees vacation for the whole year and give them access to show who will not be available in i.e next month or who is absent today.
How it should work?
There is a link in the top menu i.e "Vacation" like now is "Meeting Rooms".
The default view is month.
You can provide some projects in order to make many plans, but in this example one project is enough. Instead of "conference room" there will be a choice like this:
1.) scheduled vacation.
2.) scheduled vacation with current changes (just to check which plans have changed)
3.) actual absence of employees.

In the January, HR manager log in to redmine and plans vacation by marking the days and choose a redmine user. In the background it would be a regular issue assigned to a redmine user with "closed" status. Probably it should be another tracker to make issues readable for employees but prevented changes.

In the rest of the year, HR manager will make changes in second point. Managers of the department will always provide actual absences of their employees in the third point which will make everyone know who is absent right now.

There will be probably some problems with database names and variables names (I'm not Ruby programmer) but I think that it will be just a copy of this plugin with little changes.

Do you think it is possible to make something like that? :)

Hi,

this would of course be possible.
I don't have time for such projects right now, but feel free to become a ruby programmer and do it :) Shouldn't be too hard.
