Regarding scheduling, have you considered this: if the user hasn't
blocked it off,
it *SHOULD* be free to be scheduled by someone else. That makes it the 
responsibility of the user to block his own time.  I know I routinely block the
hour before and after lunch, the first and last hours of the day, and
other blocks
of time during the week to do "real work" rather than going to meetings, etc.
which is largely what I seem to be mostly doing these days.

Every scheduling system I have ever used, from (God forbid!) PROFS under VM/CMS
through Post-Its and a secretary has had this feature.  

And, there's a reason for it: there is about a 85% chance at any given
time that
I just won't be available for any kind of interactive scheduling. If
someone else
can't just schedule time with me, frankly it just won't happen.

I strongly recommend that you talk to people who are substantially busier than
you are before deciding how stuff like this ought to work.
