I've just updated to the latest version of webcalendar and would be happy to create a calendar for you to admin and test/learn, or even to use until you got far enough along where you could move things to your own website.
There are lots of choices. Dbmail, which I'm running, has an option that allows the creation of group folders that members of the group share. Members of the group can then created and account in their email client of choice to connect to the shared folder, and all members of the group can be connected to the shared folder at once, so DBmail, or similar email software, could be used to schedule events and coordinate schedules within a group using the familiar email client, which everyone is comfortable with and already know how to use. So far as I'm concerned, anyone outside the local network that wanted to use DBmail would be limited to my squirrelmail email client. Squirrelmail run as localhost on my email server, and I have Postfix configured to only relay email from within my local network, so it would not be possible to send email from an email client on a computer outside my local network, but it would be possible using my squirrelmail email client which run locally, but can be accessed over port 80 anywhere on the Internet.
