As one other possible alternative, you could take a look at 
opengroupware (http://www.opengroupware.org/en/about/index.html)
which has a group calendar. Now this could be overkill, but it's also a 
helluva lot of fun too.

Do please look at the calendar module itself and the screenshots.

It does also play nicely with Palm.

I hope this is of some use to you.
