I posted a DB that I created to organize meeting info. There are a few little scripts, auto-assign, equations and conditional formatting doing stuff in the background.
If you have suggestions, comments, please don't hesitate.
(Some of the structure might change as Pierre is going to change the way filters interact, etc. in IQ)
P.S. : And if you have some ideas of what kind of DB we could work on in the next few months, please suggest. Mark Gregory suggested a GTD implementation a while ago. Other suggestions : CRM DB, Reference/Research DB... These could all be good projects.
=================
EDIT 2010 05 17 -- 14 38 : The DB is now attached to this post.
V0.61 changes -- 2010 05 17 -- 19:51
- Item color can now be manually modified and it will remain unless some other automatic coloring is active (for some specific items like action items when affected by urgency, or contacts, agenda items, etc.
V0.6 changes -- 2010 05 17 -- 16:35
- New "Reports" grid with help notes (recommended to use WYSIWYG to export as some colors won't be exported with HTML export. Still missing indications has how to create a more complex/granular HTML template for more sexy data exportation)
- New "Private" field (with icon etc.) to mark certain items as private for easier filtering in the report printing process

The managing your finances discussion--I'd like to see an enhanced version, with an odc to excel, etc.
Many years ago I used a cooking database called Now You're Cooking. I downloaded it again, and will see if that could be possible to emulate some of it's concepts.

I've been playing with the idea of creating 2 (ambitious) DB :
- A CRM solution
- An full accounting solutions...
These would probably take 2 and 3+ weeks of work (respectively). I eventually would like to do it, but not now. :) Maybe if that was linked to a contract of some sort...
And I should wait for V1 to be out anyways. Some bugs should be fixed and a few important features are missing at this point :
- Search an replace is one of the big ones.
- Another one would be task recurrence.
Other interresting DB would be :
- Full fledged project management
- Full fledged GTD/Covey system which integrates values, goals etc. into the mix (à la Achieve Planer)
These too will necessitate a few more features, like :
- task recurrence (again)
- ability to show events created in the grid... in the calendar.
- Ideally the gantt would be able to show more than actual start and finished dates but also Planned Start and Finish dates
- more complex/refined HTML exports (again... If not already available)
In any case, here's version 0.51 :
- Changes to the tutorial, mainly
- Added hyperlinks to grids and templates.
- Maybe a few other little things here and there... Not much.
Haven't looked at my color script limitations yet... That's next, with the HTML export reports.
1- "action items" recurrence (as I've already added it to my own DB).
2- Sending e-mail alerts or reports to meeting participants (automatically or not -- this could be done... At least manually as IQ can send emails to lists of addresses etc.)
