I explained in a previous mail how I imagined it.
My company already developed something. See now.png attached

Now, each resources is a virtual user in the LDAP and thus with all 
information like the users, but this process is very slow and does not 
work when editing or deleting a meeting.
I would like to no longer use virtual users, but dedicated resources 
instead.

Hi all,

Below is our proposal for implementing resources management in Horde.
It will be based on Kronolith.

The principle:
When creating/editing an event, the user will be allowed to select a
resource to be added to the event. If the resource is available, it will
be booked (for recurrent events, only the 1st occurrence is checked). If
not, the user will be allowed to update the event to match a period
where the resource is available, or remove the resource from the event.
A view link is added next to each resource for the user to be able to
view the free-busy information for the resource.

Please comment on this.

See display_form.png attached.

Regards
