Thus, you simply believe us?

Hope, that your colleagues (looking at the commercial solutions)
are a bit more cautious before they spend big money....

I think, you can go for Zope (at least, if you have some
programming skills and have a bit of time).

I have just read the announcement of "Amphora Light".
Seems that it gives you most of what you want.

You, probably, will need to do the "booking" stuff yourself,
but I saw recently some posts in this respect.
You can share forces with other persons on the list
to get it implemented.
