Sorry, missed the bit on the end :-)  I was going to suggest if you want to 
work on a SoK project for the Plasma Calendar that you could look into two-way 
Akonadi integration, e.g. being able to add new appointments via the calendar.  
I'm not sure if that is enough work of a SoK project or not, but if you do 
some research and come up with a draft proposal we can make a decision then.

Cheers!

John.
