This is very helpful. I have a long list of improvements I plan to do for the calendar, but I I want to make sure I get a stable bug fix release out first, so these changes will not be attempted for the next point release.
But an improved calendar / time based report of upcoming events of different sorts is important and clearly a lacking in the current calendar UI.
note: I'm tracking these suggestions internally via http://bugzilla.recordsforliving.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045
