event scheduler

What we would like is an event scheduler program. A possible screen layout would have the screen in two panes layed out side by side. A master list on one side and a small list being edited on the other side. The left panel would be a list of event items. Each event has two values: a short phrase describing the item and an amount of time to complete this task.? The user can add, subtract or edit tasks as needed.? Think of a "to do" list you might use for jobs around the house or at work but it would be a very long list of every job imaginable. The right panel would be then be a list of empty fields. This will be were a new secondary list is going to be prepared. When the user needs to schedule a new list of events they can choose an event from the left panel and drag it to the right panel. The next event can be chosen in the same fashion and placed in the right panel in the list. The user can add, subtract or edit these tasks as needed. If the user would like to reorder the list each event can be dragged into a new position. The total time it would take to complete these tasks would be displayed and kept updated as the list is made. A small "to do" list can be made of events chosen from a list of events containing all possible tasks. This small list can be organized in a variety of ways and then output in a variety of ways: printed, saved as a small file (text or XML are possibilities), or used in a webpage. If saved as a file it can be reopened and edited.? The creation of the small list on the right panel does not remove the events from the left panel's master list and can be used in multiple instances. The program could open up different master lists, not necessarily simultaneous.
