Outlook style Meeting Request system on Web

Hi Everyone,

I have a website design and am starting a search for a freelance web developer. I have little knowledge of the technical aspects of making a website, and therefore I'm trying to gain an idea of how much work is needed to write the scripts etc.
I have picked out the major feature of the website (and the one I think will require most work):

1) Every member needs a calender similar to the one used in Microsoft Outlook. As Outlook, there must be provision for arranging meeting requests (and matching availability from two members' calender. On each day the member can enter various types of events but for each type of event there must be different options for the user to edit/add detials to this event, or to change the type of event completely.

2) 'Hi5 type' invite request system - i.e. meeting requests sent via email to other members. Once members accept it updates into their calender. Again very similar to Outlook's Meeting Request system

3) The calender must automatically update into a list, which lists all the events in chronological order.

So my question therefore is:
How much work is needed to write the scripts needed to make an Outlook meeting request system on the web and what problems will I face?

As always, any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

There is a great scripts out there that does all of this:

1. Group Office - group-office.com They charge for the latest release, but you can get the previous release absolutely free at sourceforge: sourceforge.net/projects/group-office/

The other thing is to go to hotscripts.com and search - they have tons of already made scripts that will do just what you're talking about, mostly free or very cheap.

Good Luck! If you need help or want a quote to do a custom one, just drop me a line.
