No... what we'd need is for students to be able to view calendars and book meetings and whatnot between Kronolith and Exchange. Essentially we have a bunch of departments/faculties as well as administration that refuse to give up exchange (for the usual ridiculous reasons). The rest of the faculties/departments and the student body could use Kronolith. Ideally there would be a way to talk between the two in some meaningful way. That's not to say we wouldn't deploy Kronolith for the students anyway... but things would go a lot smoother for us if we could include exchange in the mix somehow.
