A Request from Academic Advisors
...
The product didn't really have a name at this time, internally in the WiscCal team's subversion repository the project was named "scheduler-advisor."
The product was briefly shown at the 2008 Jasig Unconference in Madison.
The Beta
Development continued in response to feedback from the alpha, and in Spring of 2009 the beta release of the software was deployed and any Academic Advisor was invited to participate.
...
The 1.0 release of the software came in Fall 2009. Any person eligible for the WiscCal service could register as a Schedule Owner.
177 Schedule Owners registered during that semester, and 4,498 appointments were created. Of that population, only 25% were Academic Advisors; however 92% of the appointments created were with those advisors.
Enhancement releases have been deployed in production during the Fall and Spring semesters since. Through the end of December 2011, over 45,000 total appointment have been created.
