Event Management using Mobile Device Community Project Functional Spec
Preliminary Vision Document

The community will be building this application by the end of Nov. So watch out for its completion!
We are looking forward to your comments on what functionality should we be adding / removing from the project.
It is a community project as it is based on the feedback from community and built by the community. So let's join in to build something bigger!
you can catch the excitement at: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=e5026f44-aa34-43e1-b2ba-e0464d9a5251
