sign-up table
I oversee a weekly event where individuals volunteer their time on a schedule. The times/dates are fixed for this event, so volunteers simply need to add their name next to their preferred time/date.
I'd like to place the schedule table online, where users can sign-up by simply entering their name in an available 'open' slot in the table. I was thinking something like a AJAX table (like YUI?) but I don't know much about it and it seems that there are other options (Events? Signup?). Seems like something could be done with CCK and views but I am still quite a noob at Drupal. I saw an older module called "Event with volunteer time slots" which sounded perfect, but it is 5.x and I am in 6.x.
Any suggestions about the best way to go about this? It seems like this should be a commonly used item.

Always check the module issues queues: http://drupal.org/node/235503

good point but...
Thanks WorldFallz, and its a good point to make. Perhaps I should have posted my query there. However, it looks like this is still in development, and before I began investing some time in it I was interested in hearing what other people are doing.
I saw some discussion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/11821 that suggested the volunteer time slots to be my target (but I have not seen the module in action).
I am still interested in hearing suggestions so any input would be really appreciated ;-)

Absolutely-- but the issues queue should always be the first stop anytime you want to evaluate options.
As for this particular function though, based on your link above, it would seem the future is the signup module.

signup module grid
I'll give it a try.... the hope is that I can arrange the signup in a grid format, where users can see who else has signed up for which dates. Does anyone know if views can do this?
