Description of need:
I joined a lot of projects, and I join projects for events/bioblitzes in advance.
It would be great to be able to see the date ranges for all user-joined projects in their calendar view.
Otherwise, I have to go through my entire projects list to find my upcoming events.
Also, it’s quite nice to see how many observations I made during what bioblitz, at a glance.
Feature request details:
I would only include projects that span less than a year/month to avoid clutter.
Then I would draw colored bars behind the date range of a project.
If projects happen to overlap, these bars could be only half/a third/… the height as to show all of them at the same time.
For showing text like project title, I would only use the existing tooltip that pops up when hovering a single day. In this tooltip (where currently only number of observations on that day are shown) one could display (in the respective colors) the projects that take place on this day.
One should also be able to look at years in the future.
Optionally, a mechanism to keep the tooltip open to click on a link inside it, to get to the project, might be useful.
