[kronolith] Categories. Shared or not to share?

[Charles Kaucher]

I think there is something erroneous about Categories and there color 
assignments.  See if you can reproduce this.

1. Create a number of categories in one user(Horde) who has several 
shared calendars. Give each category a unique color.

2. In another user(Editor) who is is permissioned to audit those 
calendars and add the exact same categories in the exact same order but 
DO NOT give them any color. Accept the default color.

3. Now have user Editor apply the categories to events on the calendars 
that were created By Horde.

4. Now log out and log in and view the monthly calendar.

The events will be in the colors of the categories you assigned under 
the user Horde and Not the user Editor.

Additionally, I found if I add a category under user Editor not using 
the same category name as under user Horde it still adopts the color of 
the categories under user Horde.

I don't think that was intended.  I think was intended that each user 
should be able to make there own categories and assign their own colors.

This bug/feature is closer what I need but not exactly:  to be able to 
create certain categories by the administrator that are not changeable 
by users but usable by all users and viewable in their list of categories.

Would it be useful to people to be able to turn off users' capabilities 
to make categories and/or rather to use only shared categories on shared 
calendars. Or perhaps it should be that anyone who can edit/delete a 
calendar should have access to the categories of the person who created 
the calendar.

Is this reproducible by anyone?

What is the planned implmentaion of categories on shared calendars?
