hi all
i am wondering about the possibility of implementing an IM system for Eos. By this i mean putting in a "simple" instant messaging/notes scheme.
I was doing a show recent with a couple of different networks interfaces incl main Console, RVI, RPU and a couple of clients.
I was the production chief and at times wanted to check information with the programmer. Due to a mixture of reasons, it was easier to come out to the desk to check stuff. I just felt that it would have been handy/better than shouting for me to pass on some simple requests and fault find from my client dongle at dimmer land. I know I could re-do patch items myself but I want to pass on this information to ops.
There are pro's and cons to this not least how this actually works from a software point of view.
This feature could double up as a notes function allowing information and jobs list to be passed on To others. One of the reasons being that often the comms system is full of traffic.
It could even be a magic sheet item allowing for live updating of notes and jobs etc.
what do people think?
