Have you been in the following situation?
You wonder what to do on the weekend, then it hits you... lets go and watch "Snakes on a Plane" with a few mates on Friday night. You send an email to 8 friends and within an hour you received 20 mails. Some people are coming, some are not, some will bring friends, some want to bring a couple rattlesnakes along and you'll have to start counting to organize the booking. I wish I could just point them to a page where they could click a button if they wanna come along.
Hold on... that sounds like something a Confluence plugin could easily do. So I started writing one for our San Francisco Atlassian outing to Alcatraz. Very simple, only for registered users and a one button click to subscribe. I spend a few ours the last weekend to pick up that idea and make it a little bit more useful.
Now version 1.0 is ready for prime time. Take a look at the documentation, the plugin screenshots, and download it and give it a try.
Anyone up for Snakes on a Plane?
Cheers,
Jens

This is GREAT! The only thing I'd say that is missing is an email field...so you could collect email addresses...and then something to email that list. Also wouldn't hurt if we could add our own fields to it. Regardless...thanks!

I turned the blog field into a blog/email field. It will auto-detect whether it is a url or email link. Probably would be neat to be able to specify whether it is a blog or email field using a parameter. But would like to keep the syntax as simple as possible.
The ability to add your own fields will be part of a different plugin. To make it generic, we will have to change quite a few things. It will probably be a complete new plugin, but with a similar interface.
Cheers,
Jens
