OK, technically that should be "extension" not "plugin" and it would be for Sunbird or for Thunderbird with the Lightning extension.

I'd suggest looking at Moodle first because it's so widely used, because it has other capabilities that you/the school will probably/possibly want - and because it's simple to run from something like a tiny Debian LAMP in a VirtualBox. You could even put it the whole thing onto an USBKey. Seriously - take a look a Moodle, if nothing else it'll give you some ideas.

Hum... if something like Google Calendar (i.e., based on iCalendar) is not enough for your requirements, I would go for any of these solutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_project_management_software Tip: filter/sort first by license type (open source) and then compare their features, programming language...

From package qt4-doc: Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality. Excellent documentation.

Which way to program this?
I am considering writing a "visual department scheduler" for schools. The concept is similar to an appointment calendar, but I'd like to include drag 'n drop functionality. A supervisor is provided with teaching session objects that meet in fixed time periods (call them 1-12). The supervisor drags and drops them onto the individual teacher's schedule. This application should be cross platform, able to run in windows, mac and linux.
