Michael Arrington from TechCrunch was able to get his hands on some screenshots of the Google Calendar project that is named CL2. This is definitely a lot more exciting than the previous leaked fake screenshots. They have many features implemented that will allow the calendar to act very similar to Outlook’s calendar in my opinion.
All you have to do to create an event is click on the date or time that you want the event and then you type the name of the event in the popup box. Also, you have the ability to create multiple calendars and you will be able to share the calendar with other people. You can add a new user yourself simply by going to the settings. It is nice to see Google putting their ‘extravagant simplicity’ in this calendar.
The screenshot above is the main page that you see immediately after the login. I can’t wait for the release of CL2 and hopefully it is sooner rather than later because this would help to simplify my life.

Any idea when this will be released?
One question: What are the appointment group scheduling and notification options?
Implementing a calendar program is not rocket science, quite the contrary (Which is why Web 2.0 calendars were some of the first wave of Ajax apps).
The tricky part (and absolutely critical) part of calendar engineering is a solid, varied, and flexible implementation of appointment alerts and group meeting invitations which are tz savvy.
Desktop popup (whether you are on the site or not), IM text messaging (Gtalk only? Worthless), email and mobile appointment alerts are all much more critical features then ajax vs html interface.
Especially for these apps which are breaking Outlook’s stronghold on the market, interoperability will also be essential in meeting planning.
