The problem is that this is 'only' web based. For a calendar/schedule system
you definitly need a non-web solution (and a web based add-on so you can make
use of your entries from everywhere)! There are things (like drag and drop,
autocompletion and many others) which will prevent 'real' users from using
such a web based system. Additionly you must have the possibilty to use the
calendar offline so you can sort your appointments ... And when you go online
the system has to sync... So a pure web based solution is the wrong way
when you want to create a new CS or 'groupware' system...

It's a fine overview... The problem is that there is no real alternative
to Lotus Domino. But this is not your fault. :-)

Anyway: Anyone knows a project aiming to solve this? (You have something like
DB files on the server and defines your views on this.) Anyone knows what decision
HP has taken on OpenMail? A long time ago they were thinking about makeing it
OpenSource...
