There are gazillions of projects that kinda sorta do that phpgroupware
springs to mind. An option might be to download the source, hack it to
shape and contrib the changes back in. I'm really into this area so
please read on before your write YACP - yet another calendar protocol.

RFC2445 iCalendar covers a lot of what you're thinking about except that
it uses Calendar clients such as Evolution and MS Outlook (or even web
clients). Both these two calendar clients comply with this RFC to some
degree. Well Outlook kinda sorta does.

This project http://jical.sourceforge.net extends Evolution (or any
calendar client that stores as iCalendar) to enable outlook and other
evolution users to book meetings and view the free/busy information via
the FBURL. If you have Outlook or Evo, you will see this information in
the contact record 'collaboration' area.

JiCal also takes iCalendar files and renders them to XML, from there to
HTML, PDF (with a little help from apache FOP) and soon to SVG (for a
gantt image of your day's events. It's not a big step to go to a full
HTML view of your calendar. In fact thats what some guys at Copenhagen
Uni want.

The JiCal project is embarking on the big kahuna in calendaring terms -
to implement the calsch draft from the ieft. This draft explains the
roles of a new 'Calendar Server' which calendar clients connect to. Its
the HTTP of the Calendar world. Once this is done, I'll be asking
someone to help me to write the relevant calsch plugin for Mozilla
Calendar, Evolution (maybe a mapi plugin for outlook) and maybe for the
multiple web calendar projects out there.
