I was looking into group aware calendars recently.  There are several
Web-based groupware calendars that are worth looking at.  Here is a 
features list I put together that might help.  I got busy with real work
and never really played with any of them.  All offer calendaring, plus
a whole lot more.

Notes:

1. A few systems offer syncing to MS Outlook, Palms:
   phprojekt addon-PHPOraSync; amphora light

2. Most of above use php, apache, mysql or postgresql, this list represents
   the open source projects with high popularity or recent update activity.

3. All seem to be browser independent: IE, Netscape, Mozilla, etc.
