The signup module allows users to sign up for nodes of any type.  For
each signup-enabled node, this module provides options for sending a
notification email to a selected email address upon a new user signup
(good for notifying event coordinators, etc.), and a confirmation
email to users who sign up.  When used on event-enabled nodes
(http://drupal.org/project/event) or nodes that have a CCK date field
(http://drupal.org/project/date), it can also send out reminder emails
to all signups X days before the start of the event (per node
setting), and automatically close signups X hours before their start
(general setting).  There are settings for restricting signups to
selected roles and content types.

Further information can be collected when users sign up to a node: several
included modules provide extra panes that can be added to a signup form. 
These allow the collection of the user's name and phone number, fields 
from Drupal core's Profile module, and fields from a form created with the
Webform module (http://druapl.org/project/webform). An API allows the creation 
of customized modules to collect any kind of data in the signup form.

There is support for both registered and anonymous users to sign up.
Both can receive confirmation and reminder emails, and registered
users are optionally able to cancel or edit their own signups and view
listings of their current signups.

There is extensive integration with the Views module
(http://druapl.org/project/views), and also support to embed the
signup form as a pane using panels (http://druapl.org/project/panels).

Some add-on modules that enhance the basic functionality are available
in the "modules" subdirectory, and there is a listing of other add-on
modules on the Signup project page (http://druapl.org/project/signup).
