It's free as in vacant, not freedom nor beer. Perhaps a better name would be needed! I've no idea how much such a system would cost to develop. It would depend on how much co-operation you got from the various space providers and how flexible their existing systems would be to providing the necessary facilities. If you could get those parties to serve up iCalendar feeds from their booking systems then a system to perform an aggregated search across them for free space would be relatively straightforward. Actually booking through such a system would be much harder, but that's not really a necessary part of the system. The aim would just be to provide a way to find what you want without having to find and ring round numerous providers with complex requirements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar Yes, as I envisage it the FreeSpace system would including pricing information.

Actually you'd probably need info on costs as well because you'd lose a lot of potential spaces otherwise. There aren't many community spaces that are completely free. How much would it cost to develop the shared platform for organisations like Sutton CVS, the Volunteer Centre and the library service to start using and promoting?
