calendar implementation

I have a question regarding thoughts on calendar implementation within my ruby on rails site. One of the requirements of the calendar functionality is that other users must be able to make appointments within an individuals calendar. Available time slots can be clicked and reserved. I am wondering what the positives and negatives are of using the google calendar plugin or using another calendar plugin for ruby. Is there any clear winner? Does anyone have any experience with using the google calendar within a rails application? Also, does the google calendar api allow you to fully embed the google calendar within your application? Thanks for thoughts.

Well I have used a couple of calendar plugins for my application..One is calendar helper which u get it from http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/calendar_helper/

and the other one is family Calendar plugin which has inbuilt user control facility even that will be useful.

Hey, do you know how to test google calendar while in production mode on my local server. Is it possible to actually send data to the google calendar and update it to see if it is working? thanks, Dave
