We in EVE University rely heavily on the ingame calendar. And by heavily I mean: This month alone we have 110 events on the calendar (not including thirsty POS notifications). Basically every month is filled with that many events.
We use the calendar to easily announce Classes, Events and scheduled Fleets.
We pull the calendar through our API to a Google Calendar which is accesible to the public via http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ (note: we use the IMPORTANT tag to tag events to not be pulled to the public calendar for internal events).

Long story short: it is an essential tool for the Uni. I have no idea if other corps even really use it. So don't laugh at me for suggesting little changes that would really help us (and I guess make people use it more).
- Scope: Make it able to edit the scope (Personal/Corp/Alliance) after you posted the event. Since default is "Personal" it happens quite often that people just post it as that and wonder why it doesn't show up for other people.
- Design: Make the date bigger so it is visible directly, not on the third glance. Make it more visible that there are move events not shown, not by a small arrow no one sees because, yeah, it is small.
- Response: Place the Response feature (Accept, Decline, Tentative) more prominent. Both the lists of people and the actual buttons to set your status. We don't really use it ourselves because people don't know it exists.
- Duration: Make it possible to add "daily events" that are specifically highlighted. For example for events that have no duration.
- Titles: Allow longer Titles. Just that. The length is a bit short.
- Notifications: If an event is about to start, plop out a notification, similar to the Skill Queue or Mail or Notification Notification. Of course with possibility to deactivate as normal notifications. My guess is that the notification feature is quite ugly code so I put it at the end... although it is the most important feature in my opinion

Yes, those would be really great and I agree, number 6 would be amazing! I've lost a few events due to not remembering the time it would take place. |

notifications would be really nice.
the calendar is underused since it is not handy enough to use it.
i'd like to have an option to drag and drop the event from the calendar to the chat or even link it in the motd - to make corpies/allies aware of certain events.
always bet on duke |
