39 -The WebHome of the application is an aggregated calendar which displays the events from all the calendars of a user.

41 -This is very similar to Google Calendar, following the same approach. The main advantage of this is the ease of interaction between users' calendars (e.g. sharing a calendar with another user means displaying the specific calendar among his own calendars, inside the WebHome).

1 -I don't think we will need a livetable to list all the events since you can see/delete/edit all events in the year/month/week views. The calendar events are much powerful when they are in a timeline than seeing them in a list.
2 -
3 -Also I don't think is necessary the concept of categories when you can have multiple calendars. Right now in Google Calendar you can create multiple calendars and attribute each calendar a goal (have a personal one, a xwiki one, a birthday, etc). In this use case the concept of categories is replaced by multiple calendars.

1 -I agree with this.
2 -
3 -We should have a 2 views:
4 -1. Individual calendar view, that should be available on each calendar's space WebHome
5 -2. Aggregated calendar view for all the calendars and events that are visible to the current user. This could be a new tab in the user's profile (harder for an application to extend right now) or, alternatively, in the Calendar application's space WebHome (easier and makes the Calendar application space useful).
6 -
7 -The event livetable might be useful for an 'advanced search' functionality, allowing to filter events nicely.
