Answer 1

If you want to do it with Google Calendar, have a look at Zend_Gdata:

Google Data APIs provide programmatic interface to some of Google's online services. The Google data Protocol is based upon the » Atom Publishing Protocol and allows client applications to retrieve data matching queries, post data, update data and delete data using standard HTTP and the Atom syndication formation. The Zend_Gdata component is a PHP 5 interface for accessing Google Data from PHP. The Zend_Gdata component also supports accessing other services implementing the Atom Publishing Protocol.

Specifically the chapter on Using Google Calendar:

You can use the Zend_Gdata_Calendar class to view, create, update, and delete events in the online Google Calendar service.

Also see http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/ for more information about Google Data API.

There are some calendars proposals on ZF, e.g. this Zend_Calendar proposal. You can easily extend it with Google Calendar as a data provider.

Take a look at alternative to Google Calendar, written in jQuery: wdCalendar as well.

For visualizing multiple google calendars (one for each user) you could try the Ext Scheduler. There's a demo integration showing how you can use the Google Calendar API too:
