It's already got an events organisation feature :). It's called 'gatherings' in patchwork (and other clients too.) Here's a screenshot of a gathering: https://imgur.com/PbB8R9q

Nope - it's not limited to simple message feeds. For example, I was able to implement a chess app and integrate it into one of the scuttlebutt viewer clients (patchbay): https://github.com/Happy0/ssb-chess. Someone's working on a Go (game) app too :).

There is an app for discussing and reviewing books too - and some of the messages for this app are rendered on the main feed too (alongside gatherings and other things.)

More information about apps here: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/applications.html

Well. I will definitely be setting this up then. Thanks for the pointers.

Awesome :).

Let me know if you need a hand with any of the setup.

Well. I created a gathering. The UI gives me no indication of who can see it; if it's public or private. The UI gives me no indication of how I can "invite" people to it so they can see it (if it's even private).

The UI could do with some work.

You could create an issue on the patchwork github issues page (https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/issues) outlining the changes you'd like to see, if you like :).

And / or start a thread in #new-people on scuttlebutt.
