I looked over GCal and it looks like what it is, a full-blown calendar system. So the questions move towards what almut asked for, what are my requirements?

GCal is a canned-product designed around individuals and events, and for sharing information. That is great for what it was designed,

  1. How do I implement business rules?
  2. How do I implement permissions, on individual calendars.
  3. How do I create new calendars to integrate with security?
  4. How do I integrate Google Calendar licensing with a product that I wish to license to others?

The time to address those questions there can easily surpass the amount of time it would take me to design something simple and effective for what I intend.

I have answered most of business logic issues with existing code. One of the few questions left was how to properly implement validations for the calendar.

In this case, I don't believe that GCal brings anything to the table for this problem. On the other hand, it is always nice to know of alternatives, I would never have thought about using GCal before you mentioned it.
