Calendar owners can set fine grained permissions for groups and individuals on their calendars. This allows to create calendars that can be seen and/or edited by larger groups of Kronolith users. Any events that are created in this calendar are visible to each user that has read permissions, if they choose so. This kind of event sharing is most useful for events for a fixed set of (Kronolith) users that don't need to be arranged. With Kronolith 2.2 it is possible to mark single events in a shared calendar as private so that event details are only visible to the event creator. ++ Event planning A more sophisticated way to plan and organize events, even with users that don't use Kronolith, is the meeting planning functionality that uses standardized iCalendar data objects exchanged via the iTip protocol.
