Description

Bojangles is an existing timetabler used by ~40k students a year at UNSW. It provides extremely convenient functionality for students and is an external tool developed by a current UNSW Student (Tom Dransfield). During the beginning of 2018, Tom expressed interest in handing the timetabler over to Projects to takeover and maintain as a society project rather than a personal one (no more server fees and e-mails for Tom!).

The project's target is the wider UNSW community (students). We intend to maintain the interest and functionality of Bojangles, and further raise it and promote it as a proper tool for the university to use. Future plans therefore involve making it official or endorsed by the university.
