Sometimes an event logically fits into more than one
category. Could that functionality be added? If my team
of university developers were to do that for you, would
you be interested?

    Structuraly it would seem to be problematic since the
    category is part of the event. Easy way is to just replicate
    the event with a different category. Else to allow multiple
    cateories/event would seem to mean a separate event/category
    table and thus all the selects would have to be changed to
    get the category after it gets the events. Interesting
    concept... I extended my version to allow specific colors to
    be assigned by event (www.weaversguldmn.org/vtcalendar/).

    It's more than just a cencept - it is a very useful feature, that is built into the iCal standard from the start, but is so very often overlooked in implementations. So many calendar apps are cripled by the lack of multiple categories. MS Outlook is one of the very few clients that correctly supports this (even though it falls down in many other ways).
