Well I'll protest at this.  Ugly possibly - tk/tcl isn't for everyone.
But it is very easy to use.  OK, now I may not be your average user, but
I still would have thought it fairly intuitive.  Five minutes of tuition
to anyone who is mildly computer literate (eg. can use MS/Star Office)
would seem sufficient.

Admittedly it is not designed for shared use in the way you described
(private/public).  But it would be possible if all copies were running
on the one machine, or if directories were nfs mounted.  Each user
could have two calanders (one with global write permissions, one with
only read permissions), then each copy that is running "includes" all
of the calanders (you talked about 4-6 users which should be fine - I
doubt it would scale to hundreds).  I beleive it handles locking itself
(the help actually describes a use somewhat like this).
