i agree with everything in this section. this is how i expect basic
shared calendaring to work in an office setting.

this is where you get into areas where creative solutions are needed,
but i can't really provide anything beyond the basic office shared
calendaring, which is all i've thought about in detail. all i can say
is that while i see the need for some level of anonymous interaction
with shared calendars, i'm worried about being too relaxed with
privacy issues.
