Dear Liviu and FET team,
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for your incredible work on FET. The software is a great achievement — stable, logical, and extremely helpful. We've recently started using FET at our university to organize timetables for part-time (weekend) study programs, and it has proven to be an excellent tool for this purpose. Until now, we had never used any automatic timetabling software, and FET has really simplified and improved our scheduling process.
We would like to ask whether you plan to add a feature that would allow scheduling based on even and odd weeks.
This functionality would be very useful for universities where some courses are held every second week (for example, once every two weeks on alternating weekends).
We are aware of several suggested workarounds discussed on the forum — for example, duplicating days or using multiple datasets — and we are currently testing these methods before the next semester. However, a built-in solution supporting alternating weeks would be a significant improvement and would make FET even more powerful for academic timetabling.
Thank you once again for your continued effort and support for the community.
Best regards,
M.K

I tried to think of something, but there were two reasons to abandon the pursuit:
1) There were no really interested users to follow our quest, with test files and suggestions;
and
2) Lack of financial support.
If I was sponsored for my price and meet users really interested in this and helping us to write and test the feature, I would be interested.
Thank you for your quick response, please take a look at my private message
