I would reccomend taking a look at the following URLs:
http://www.geonorth.com/geocalendar/
http://www.when.com
http://www.planetall.com

I would love to be able to add events that could be personalized by
filtering for category and/or geographical proximity, as well as letting
end-users create and manage shared/group calendars with submission,
editing and viewing permissions.

Clicking on a particular day should bring up the day-mode, and I suppose
you could do something similar for the week-mode.

It should be possible to click on a link to see a more detailed listing
for an event. This might actually involve creating a separate 'Event'
product/class/lever/whatzit and dropping it in, although I'm not sure
how you would create events that spanned several dates.

Hope these ideas help,

Michael Bernstein.
