-!The calendar aproach
-Even though many of us are able to work without a strict predefined plan on what is going to happen when, it usually becomes necessary to agree about time and place for hapenings that include more than one person. It is set up a time and place and in many cases also when it is supposed to end or how long it will last. Sometimes it is defined for who the happening is made for or not and invitations are to be sent to the correct group of persons. Ideally a calendaring system keeps track of a calendar, the start, end and reocurencies of events and participating persons. Usually you would categorize calendar content so that you can create custom calendars to specific needs in a similar fashion like wikibooks.

-The optimal solution would be to store the information in the database. From there information can be presented on the web pages, but also iCal files should be possible to get in the same way as the pdf plugin works. The most difficult might be to import iCal files since different applications may format the calendar files differently. Futhermore users and/or groups could be assigned to events or calendars so that they can be mailed the iCal files or subscribe to them. Publish and subscription service will require webdav I'm afraid.

+!! phpMyCal
+phpMyCal is an interface for a schedule database using MySQL. The core set of functionality provides a php class for creating, editing, and deleting calendars and events, and generating iCalendar data. An add on bridge allows direct interaction with PHP iCalendar. This project is pretty new, so expect some rough edges.
+
+Be sure to check out PHP iCalendar at sourceforge.net. That project is the reason for this one, as well as a super clean nice great interface and parser for vCalendar (.ics) files.
