Hi Tom, Yes you can setup calendar view without authentication required and is having read-only access on public facing website. Some customizations will be needed.
Are you comfortable in doing custom development in OFBiz? Updation existing eCommerce application shouldn't be done, instead create your own component in hot-deploy directory. Also this website is going to be only used for Information purpose or you also want to setup product catalog for sell. or you are simply going to allow people to register to your website for accessing certain information.
