Chaos Angel News Hub

What do we want from this project?

Presentation of upcoming free shifts
Presentation of news
Presentation of upcoming meetings
Push-Notifications to browsers and smartphones

What do we need to accomplish that goal?

A responsive frontend that works well on all devices
Events that trigger update of the current DOM
A messaging infrastructure (socket.io)
Smartphone/Tablet apps that show the website and pipe incoming messages to the on board notification system
Optional: Mail notifications
A secure way to send notifications to the server for broadcasting/distribution

What would be "nice to have"?

Automatic parsing of upcoming-non-taken shifts from the angel system
Automatic, individual notifications for starting shifts (User gets notified trough a message 15 minutes before his shift starts)
SSO with the angel system
Open and documented API for 3rd party applications (for example Info-Screens)

Proposals

I'd propose to deliver the frontend code without any content. All minified and put together.
No images, icon-font only.
Use of modern Markup and best-practices. No legacy support for outdated browsers.
All content gets handed to the client trough the JSON-API.
