Supervisor Matching System

Client: Tim Jones, Computer Lab <timothy.jones@cl.cam.ac.uk>

Finding supervisors for courses is difficult. The CL runs a wiki where supervisors can indicate their interest for specific courses, but the information quickly becomes stale. Your task is to produce a web-based system allowing potential supervisors to mark all courses they are able to supervise along with preferences for numbers (and perhaps college), and which then indicates their remaining capacity for the relevant period. It should provide easy data entry and a convenient view for DoSes to see who is supervising what and when. When the core is complete, there are a variety of extensions envisaged.
