===Project summary===
Shepherd is an advanced scheduler that can do a wide variety of tasks depending on a number of triggers.

The project will aim to improve on the capabilities of Shepherd. I plan to add more ways of triggering an action and more actions to be taken when the triggers is meet.

===Progress===

I have planned to write a couple of plug-ins for shepherd as well as to get the core and GUI in working order.

The part that is missing from most of the plug-ins is to adopt it to the shepherds current API, the actual functionality is already there.
