So I was thinking, I'm not really satisfied with any programs for studying. So I've been thinking, what I would want in a study application built for college. I'm thinking like calendar and everything. If I ever do write this program (it's really tempting), I would write it in python, and maybe even utilize the KDE bindings (ie. write it for KDE for Linux). But on to what I want....
I would want these things in a program:
Adding a class. This would include reoccurring times and times. It would go on a calendar.
Adding a test. It would be linked to a class and also go on a calendar. It would need to give the option of do it within this time range (ie. your taking it in the testing center) and/or taking it at a certain time.
Adding notes. For specific classes (like Econ 110 on 10/2/2008) you should be able to link notes to the class on the calendar. This would include documents, wiki edits and recordings. Then you could go back and click on a class to find what notes you took. On a similar note...
Add assignments for a specific class. You should be able to click on it like notes, and you should see what assignments you need. It should include things you just need to go over, like viewing assignments you have saved to your computer.
Add other resources, like you could add notes. This would include stuff like the teachers' sideshows, or other handouts for that class
Add a book, similar to adding homework. A class should understand books and how long they are in pages/chapters. If it's on your computer, you could add a reading assignment and when you clicked on it, it would pop open the book.
Adding misc. stuff to the calendar, this would include football games, home teaching, devotional and other things. Assingments like movie viewings would fall into this category and perhaps act like a test. Hmm...
Well that about wraps up my requirements. It would be nice to have a built in viewer. If I did that, I most certainly would have to make a KDE app. Other integrated things would be nice too, like sound, chat and editor. Hmm... It's really tempting to go start designing the core in ERIC right now.....
