Calendaring is a huge embarrassment and a mess, and it is super annoying if you have to deal with anyone “outside” your group. Emailed ical files seems to be the norm but only work over email. :(

Calendaring is surprisingly complex. Especially when it comes to stuff like rules for repeating events and timezones. I had to do work on this at a previous job and it was pretty hard even with all the libraries and tools out there.

It's insanely complex - one of those problems that is easy to state and nearly impossible to solve (which means there's opportunity here).
