This feature I think we definetly need. The calender viewing mechansim
will become more complicated, but it will be a lot more powerful.

I have my events split up into a few calenders for my own use (Eg, I was
one with my lecture schedule for Uni, and another with my personal
plans). I have my girlfriend doing the same and using my
Horde+IMP+Kronolith for organizing herself. We both want to put our
lecture schedules as shared/public (read-only) and be able to see things
at a glance on the main horde page, which presently only shows things in
your personal calender. We want it to have our lectures merged with our
personal events, combined with a club shared calender I have, all
displayed on one calendar, to see at a glance what is going on.

Implementation wise, I think it might be wise to use something like the
IMP IMAP folders system for this. And have a number of calenders
selected for the main view. An additional possibility, althought I think
it will be too much work, would be the ability to create calender
groups. This could be used, say the executives of a club who have their
class schedules in Kronolith, could just put together a big group of
their class schedule calendars, and see easily where everybody is free
for meetings and the like.

So to recap that, it is basically a means of viewing a group of
calenders together, while the events on each are still seperate.
