I took a look at the article, really nice idea, congrats. Regarding having a calendar within MLO..think about it as an investment that will bring more and many more satisfied users to MLO. I keep thinking that not having a quick way to understand how you are planning to distribute your time reduces a lot the value you get out of so much sophistication to keep track of tasks, priorities, projects, etc, etc.
