Sounds like you could use some of the tools out of the Andrew Toolkit (ATK)
from Carnegie-Mellon.  They have things like mr.cal (a calendar function that
allows you to query other users and set up meetings), mr.reminder (which will
actually pop up a window reminding you when you're supposed to be in a meet-
ing), and other such utilities.

Unfortunately, I don't think that ATK is character based (can't be, it runs
on X11), so maybe not such a good idea after all.
