Goals
Libre software to host yourself, unlike Doodle
More simple, sexy and/or fun than libre alternatives:
Foodle (on GitHub, ex. DFN scheduler, ex. DFN Terminplaner+)
Keep things simple, usable, maintainable
Support invocation from the command line, e.g. for spontaneous polls in a LAN
Have security in mind
Please check out the list of upcoming features.
Non-goals
Use of heavy frameworks: building blocks only
Read availability from calendars
