It does not support Safari. At least it's nice enought to let me know. Herm.

at first site: Beautiful, Nice, ... Impressive But in Europe weeks start on Monday. So that needs to be localised.

Safari... Safari.. Safari...

Is it a Java backend Cedric?

"Calendar is unavailable right now, please try again in a few moments"

Maybe it doesn't work on Safari because Firefox says there are 18 errors on the page. Anyway, as much as I'm interested in calendar applications, they are really only interesting if they integrate with Exchange so that I can make meetings (and see their availablilty)with 'business' people.

Looks pretty good. One option is missing for me to limit day time. ie. only display from 8am to 18pm Fb : There's an option in setting "Week starts on:"

I've had a play. I think I might even be using it in earnest from now on - it passes the test. It's pretty damn slick but will definately benefit from the inevitable tweeks and upgrades that are bound to come along shortly. I was suprised when I entered a birthday and it didn't automatically set it to be a yearly repeated event, and the option to make it so was hidden behind the edit date field. Only by chance did I stumble upon that. Overall though - v good. The question is: Being Google, will it blow all the competition away? (30boxes.com etc)

Fb, you can change the start date to Monday in the "Settings" page.

Looks great Cedric, some comments after my first entry: -Invite others needs to link into my gmail address book. -Saying "Repeats Every Day" and then another drop down box that says "Repeats every 1 day" was not intuitive to me what the second box was for. At first, I assumed it was how many days it would repeat and I was thinking this is a bad way to set the number of days. I am not sure the "Repeats every n days" is worth having on there. -Is never the right default for when the entry ends? I would suggest that if its daily, the following day would be a good default 2 day events are more common than never ending events. If its weekly, maybe never is the right default...but indefinitely is probably the more accurate term. It repeats until we cancel it, but we aren't sure when that will be, so its indefinite.

Here is another cool idea...my wife and I both use gmail and our real calendar's are linked for most personal events but not for any work events. It would be cool if we could give each other permission to add some events (birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, etc) directly on one another's calendar. Also, I assume this is already on your list...but if I could take an email and convert it to a calendar entry..that would be slick.

I cannot see Safari here... Too bad... :(

It would be nice if you could see week numbers as well somewhere. Others have already mentioned Exchange integration and "partial" sharing with special people (adding personal events).

You can already share private calendars with specific people, giving them different security levels on what they can see and change on the calendar. +1 for Exchange integration... For the time being, until Outlook / Exchange get dropped for something more like this (only running inside the firewall with a Google appliance, no doubt).

If you haven't seen AirSet yet, check it out. It has this, and tons more. With it, I can share my various group and personal calendars online, between outlook, and even on my phone. It totally rules. Maybe google will get this good down the road, but they're probably at least a year off (if ever) to having the sweet functionality that AirSet has. p.s. I'm an ecstatic AirSet customer, nothing else.

Its funny how a company which fits the whole www in a its servers finally managed to release a Calendering application - What next ? Google Word ? Where is the innovation Cedric ? :-)

Lots of little things that don't quite work, or give Javascript errors - but they're things that will be sorted after the product has been "baked" for a few weeks so there's no point in me mentioning them. Bug: 1) Create Event 2) Click in the time field to display the time fake drop-down list. 3) Hit the escape key on the keyboard. Create Event screen will go and be left with the fake drop-down on top of the main calendar grid. Feature Request: Set a Default calendar - eg I created a family calendar. My wife wants to post to this calendar by default, not into her own calendar.

Bug: If someone else creates an event on one of your calendars, neither them nor you can create a reminder for that event.

Definitely a good initial outing, and the standards support is great. Nonetheless, I was hoping for less vanilla and more sauce. In particular, I would have liked to see label support along the same lines as GMail coupled with filters for external visibility and the ability to share labels between GMail and the calendar with unified search.

Feature Request: Place aliases. eg if aliases such as "Work", "Parents house" could map to a zip/postal code, then they would work better when the Google Maps hyperlink was clicked. Perhaps this should be a Google Maps feature?

Feature Request: I'd like to be able to mark an event as tentative. For example a meeting request (or family visit) is usually tentative until at least one other participant has confirmed.

Whats with Safari ? We had a Safari customer bitchin about our site. Our site works perfectly on FireFox, IE, Opera etc. Isn't there any other browser on the Mac? Firefox? Folks - ditch Safari and move on..

Is it possible touse it also remotely (WebDAV/CalDAV in sunbird), the same way I use gmail?

MrCurious: Yes, It's got a Java backend. I've just got a com.google.calendar.server.CalendarException from it.

Usually my first complaint now days is that a new Google service does not support the RIM Blackberry browser.

Aside from a slightly slicker UI, it's not quite as good as Yahoo. I assume it will get better as more apps are integrated, but the big thing is PDA integration--without an automated PDA/Outlook integration tool why would anyone move away from yahoo's calendar?

feature request: repeating is too limited. i want to have events which repeat every [N] PERIOD(S), ie: every 2 weeks.

i take that back, repeating isn't limited at all, just completely unintuitive until you pick a period you *don't* want and then discover you can change it to the one you do... oh well...at least it does what i want it to.

Hmmm, Mac is not good for this...

Am using the cal on my Mac with Firefox - and it's GREAT! Sofar I only have one feature request; A good birthday, anneversery etc. display. In other words, a way to know how old a person having the birthday is/will be. Perhaps data from the birthday entries could be coupled with the gmail address-book? Keep up the good work!

Looking for sync with PDA? With RemoteCalendars http://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars you can sync both ways between Google Calendar and Outlook...and by this way, you can sync your PDA ;)

RemoteCalendars is very buggy. Doesn't seem to want to work with .NET 2.0.

There is a way to directly sync your PDA with the Google Calendar: http://www.saraiya.com

I am not understaing google calender integration. Using java coding with integrate google calender in my own web site how to integrate google calender?

Or just use the built in syncing facilities of your handheld, connecting through a free, net bases conduit: www.goosync.com Again, it's free and it works seamlessly with most PDA:s/cell phone and Gcal.
