Key Details

 * How it works: http://www.calliflower.com/how-it-works/
 * There are 2 parts:
 * voice connection (can be phone, skype or direct from a computer (not quite sure how this works yet)
 * online chat, viewing documents, raise virtual hand and web based interaction
 * Can be used for simple ad hoc or scheduled phone only conference calls
 * Dialin numbers for each state: http://www.calliflower.com/dial-in-numbers/
 * Shared conference code: 3863255
 * If joining through the Calliflower website as well as by conference phone, note the following:
 * A personal pin for a call is needed to be identified online as the person speaking (i.e. your online name and your phone connection are linked so if you talk the system highlights you)
 * Participants invited to a call get an email that includes a unique pin for that person and the call invited to
 * Participants that have an account can use their account based personal pin that applies for all calls - the can also nominate the phone number they call in from in their profile so that the system automatically recognises who they are without needing a pin (by their phone number) - calling from a different number? Enter your pin number.
 * Participants who use the 3863255 shared BTC pin get identified as caller 1, caller 2 etc (the system doesn't know who is which phone number unless the number is connected to an account profile. so just assigns the next sequential caller number) - if someone does dial in this way but wants their name to show they need to hang up and redial in with a personal pin number (the call admin can invite them by email or SMS which will send them a unique pin)

How does Calliflower update my calendar with the invitation details
When a call is scheduled and people have been invited by adding the, to the Participants list then they will receive and invitation email that has 2 parts:
 * email content with a green box listing the details
 * invite.ics attached file - this attached file provides the date and time details in the standard ICAL format that email/calendar software like Gmail and Outlook use to update your personal calendar.

For example, in GMAIL the invitation details get displayed before the email content with a link to 'add to calendar' - this information is not part of the email sent by Calliflower so if the email is forwarded without the attachment then only the information will be received and no option for the receiving person to automtically add to their calendar.

Opening the invite.ics file will also open your default calendar software if you have one.
