Comment	> It seems to me that Kronolith has all the features necessary to be > used as a resource booking system for e.g. meeting rooms, > microscopes, etc. I have set up a test calendar assigning each of our > meeting rooms to a category, then share the calendar for everyone to > see when rooms are free/booked. The only problem is that the > categories (e.g. Meeting Room 1, Meeting Room 2, Seminar Room, etc.) > are not shown in text format on each "event" on screen. I can > distinguish categories by my colour set up, but other users who see > the shared calendar would have to set up the same categories and > assign colours, which is not practical with many users (printing the > calendar can lose colour information anyway). Alternatively, the > meeting room name has to be entered as the "Title" of the event, but > it would be much easier to select from a drop-down list of > categories. Could display of the category name for each event be made > an option on a per-calendar basis? The "Title" of each event could > then be the name of the person who has booked the resource or > whatever.
