Display of invitee-posted update information regarding meeting within calendaring-oriented computer program

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory storage device storing computer-readable code for a calendaring-oriented computer program, executable by a processor of a computing device, and comprising:
• first computer-readable code to display a meeting to which a user of the calendaring-oriented computer program has been invited to participate;
• second computer-readable code to visually indicate within the calendaring-oriented computer program that a first other user who has also been invited to participate in the meeting has posted first update information relevant to the meeting and that the first other user has permitted the user to view;
• and
• third computer-readable code to:
• permit the user to post second update information relevant to the meeting;
• specify:
• a second other user who has also been invited to participate in the meeting as being permitted to view the second update information within another calendaring-oriented computer program running on another computing device;
• and
• a scheduled time at which the update information is to be posted;
• receive input from the user corresponding to the second update information relevant to the meeting and specify the second other user;
• and
• post the second update information to which the input received from the user corresponds, at the scheduled time to the second other user, such that the update information is posted at the scheduled time that is later than a time at which a moderator previously caused the meeting to be created and sent and that is later than a time at which the calendaring-oriented computer program received the meeting,
• wherein a computing device of the first other user, a graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed, comprising:
• a window;
• a plurality of tabs on top of the window, including:
• a first tab that is left-most on top of the window, the first tab selectable to accept the meeting by the first other user;
• a second tab immediately to the right of the first tab, the second tab selectable to decline the meeting by the first other user;
• a third tab immediately to the right of the second tab, the third tab selectable to delegate the meeting by the first other user to another user;
• a fourth tab identifying the user that posted the second update information, the fourth tab selectable to display in the window:
• a first area towards a top of the window in which the second update information is displayed;
• an identification of an attachment provided by the user with the second update information, below the second update information, the identification selectable by the first other user to open the attachment;
• identification of any other users to whom the second update information was also sent, below the identification of the attachment;
• and
• a reply button below the identification of the any other users, the reply button selectable by the first other user to reply to add additional information to the second update information.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a storage device storing a calendaring-oriented computer program executable by the processor to:
• display a meeting to which the user has been invited to participate as received from a moderator that has previously caused the meeting to be created and sent;
• permit the user to post update information relevant to the meeting and to specify:
• a different user who also has been invited to participate in the meeting as being permitted to view the update information within another calendaring-oriented computer program running on another computing device;
• and
• a scheduled time at which the update information is to be posted;
• receive input from the user corresponding to the update information relevant to the meeting and specifying the different user and the scheduled time;
• and
• post the update information to which the input received from the user corresponds, at the scheduled time to the different user, such that the update information is posted at the schedule time that is later than a time at which the moderator previously caused the meeting to be created and sent and that is later than a time at which the calendar-oriented computer program received the meeting,
• wherein a computing device of the different user, a graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed, comprising:
• a window;
• a plurality of tabs on top of the window, including:
• a first tab that is left-most on top of the window, the first tab selectable to accept the meeting by the different user;
• a second tab immediately to the right of the first tab, the second tab selectable to decline the meeting by the different user;
• a third tab immediately to the right of the second tab, the third tab selectable to delegate the meeting by the different user to another user;
• a fourth tab identifying the user that posted the update information, the fourth tab selectable to display in the window:
• a first area towards a top of the window in which the update information is displayed;
• an identification of an attachment provided by the user with the update information, below the update information, the identification selectable by the different user to open the attachment;
• identification of any other users to whom the update information was also sent, below the identification of the attachment;
• and
• a reply button below the identification of the any other users, the reply button selectable by the different user to reply to add additional information to the update information.
