Planned/explored directions:

• Equipment and multi-resource bookings — booking a room and the projector and the sound technician in a single reservation, with conflict checks across all linked resources.
• Self-service booking portals for members/volunteers, so trusted groups can book shared spaces directly without going through an administrator.
• Capacity-aware waitlists — automatically offering a spot when a booked slot frees up, using the existing Automation engine to notify waitlisted people.
• Recurring booking templates — one-click setup for recurring meeting patterns (e.g., "every second Tuesday") without manually creating each occurrence.

Why This Matters

As organizations grow, the complexity of "who can use what, when" grows with them. Expanding on the existing Event/BookingService foundation avoids introducing a second booking system for more advanced scenarios.

Technical Notes

These directions extend the existing BookingService and Event model rather than replacing them — for example, multi-resource bookings would likely be modeled as multiple linked Event records sharing a parent booking, keeping conflict-detection logic centralized in one service as it already is today.
