Craig .. strikes me that another fast/filthy method is a BBS ..
shouldn't be too hard to set up . with different levels of access rights
etc.
Of course something more sophisticated using php/mysql in combo with say
LDAP authentication (or similar) would be a project for some budding
programmer.

A wiki offers nothing more than a word document saved in a globally
writeable place :-) The booking system must be better than that, else the
users will get put off.

As a fast&filthy approach, you can definitely do a lot worse than just a
wiki.
Something like Usemod Wiki is trivial to set up, has lots of good
features, handles locking / conflicts etc.
Just have a Wiki page per bookable resource, a index page with
links to the resources. If the resource is very busy you may wish to make
it a page per resource per month.
Since it is good wiki, you also have a wiki, and track of who changed what
how when etc.
Just plain simple.

Does anyone have experience with some form of booking system? We have
a good sized collection of booking sheets for rooms and equipment, and
theres a desire to get it off paper.
Ideally it would use a web interface rather than a program interface,
and properly support multiple users and
Calcium looks good, but its commercial.
MRBS looks like a dog.
Are there any other decent possiblilities?
(anyone saying Notes or Outlook or Exchange server can get their
suggestion firmly implanted.)
