        Hi,
I'm not sure whether I can help here, I just want to suggest one thing:
even Evolution supports Publishing of calendars, or also Free/Busy
servers, (Edit->Preferences->Calendar and Tasks), then what about using
company calendar but setting a 'private' flag for the appointment? It
depends on your company calendar, if it supports it and treats it
properly, but it would be easier than the other things, I guess.
You can find it in editing dialog of the appointment under menu
Options->Classifications.
        Bye,
        Milan

(Note: I do not know much about free/busy servers or how to use
published calendars, so do not ask me.)
