I know that we should just make the contribution to civi and fund the development, but frankly we are financially hanging on by a financial thread right now.  I'm still curious why others wouldn't find this indispensable.  Many organizations have recurring events (classes, board meetings, etc.) and its cumbersome to repeat the event information each week.  yes, templates will help, but even naming an event becomes creative when its recurring. As far as implementation, I wonder if there isn't a parent / child relationship for events.   In fact, reporting would be much more meaningful if this were the case, because a master event could be reported on like an event category. We are interested in the impact of Tuesday night classes, for example, or our monthly dinner event from a reporting standpoint, while we are also interested in the specific event (participant list, revenue, etc.)
