As you've mentioned, objections to RSVP lists are pretty varied, and
usually there's some specific thing that people object to. But in other
contexts, they don't object. For instance if you were holding an event
at your apartment, some people who might object to an RSVP list for a
user group might not object to that.
So with that in mind, this is basically the problem we're hoping to
tackle with the re-write of the NYLUG RSVP system. We're working with
some other FLOSS people about producing both a standalone app and some
kind of plugin for the "New NYLUG Site". We're trying to share events
and announcements between our groups, as well as a related project to
share job and situation wanted postings.
