Collections question: Many of the default types have a "location" property and yet I was unable to create a collection that listed items by it (location seems to refer to the path the object in the ZODB). I am thinking that this would be a great way for me to handle our unusual room names.

No, location is a static text field in Archetypes for storing arbitrary location names. This has been disabled in Cyn.in. I believe what you're looking to use is the "Path" criterion - this will let you specify a url path to the Space name. Play with it, you'll get it ultimately. The collection editing screens are a bit complex, but keep at it and they will get you the data you need.

No, I don't want to use the Path criterion... I'd like it if all objects could have a "GEO location" property, even if this was only "York, UK" or "VC011" (my room) so that I could display meetings on a map (we have a big campus!)
