fwiw,

We explored this idea on paper many moons ago, and ruled it out because 
we found that most people need the consistent layout to orient 
themselves. Many people use a spacial memory to know where they "put" 
something -- especially if people are really using integrated 
notes/tasks with the calendar. If "Thursday" moves around, they lose 
this spacial orientation.

I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of the meeting maker 4-5 day 
window btw.

Cheers,
Katie
