CookedGryphon writes "An age old problem in offices the world over, is the question of whose turn it is to make the tea. Usually it falls to the newest member of the team, or somebody that nobody really likes. Now however there is a new, fairer way to decide, enter Mrs Doyle (a new open source project using google app engine).
She sits in Gtalk just waiting for somebody to mention tea. As soon as they do, she leaps on the opportunity and asks everyone whether they want a cup. Once she has asked around she fairly and semi-randomly selects the lucky tea maker and relays everybody's order. What's more, over time she also makes pretty graphs showing how much tea you have drunk and when.
This makes for a harmonious office environment, not to mention an excessive and somewhat competitive attitude towards drinking tea, which can only be a good thing."
