I think this is a great idea. I've been thinking along some of the
same lines as well, but haven't had time yet to actually do more.

Things I would like to do:

- Should be able to handle a few people (i.e. a family)
- An overview should be available showing todays/weeks tasks for a
  all people
- Enter & synchronize data with myth/web/outlook/pda.

For me, a ui only available in myth would be useless. I need to
synchronize to other calendars, perhaps only Outlook which could then
synchronize to other devices. My initial idea was to see if somebody
has created a web-enabled calendar with the above features and then
create a myth ui on top of this.
