TPAC scheduling tool

[jyasskin]

For each TPAC, we have a list of meetings (https://www.w3.org/2025/11/TPAC/schedule.html / https://www.w3.org/calendar/tpac2025/), some of which have agendas (e.g. whatwg/meta#326 from last year; very not-machine-readable), some of which include time-certain topics (even more unreadable), and we want to collaboratively identify

1. which need a TAG member to attend
2. which TAG member(s) plan to attend.

We may want to have TAG members "vote" on (1), which just means recording and showing a list of people who think that session is important.

Only an individual TAG member should be able to commit themself to attending a session, but we probably want other TAG members, or maybe even WG members, to suggest that a particular person should attend a session.

There should be both

1. a session-oriented view so we can see which sessions are missing coverage, and
2. a person-oriented calendar, maybe with a .ics feed, so each TAG member can see where they're supposed to be at each time.

@bert-github, you're credited with the TPAC schedule page, so I wonder if you have any suggestions for either pulling the data, re-using parts of the W3C system that I don't know about, or designing this so that it can someday be upstreamed into the main W3C website?

Ah, https://www.w3.org/calendar/tpac2025/group-meetings/export/ seems to be the machine-readable version of the overall agenda (iCal format). Some of the events' DESCRIPTION fields include an Agenda: line that links to an agenda like https://github.com/w3c/media-wg/wiki/TPAC-2025, w3c/html-ruby#24, or https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/Wiki_for_TPAC_2025. The agendas are still not machine-readable, so if we want to send people to particular time slots, we'll have to identify them manually. But this tool could potentially <iframe> the agendas to make them easier to skim.
