One of the features I find it interesting in Google calendar is the possibility to create shared calendars, but also the availability of your calendar as XML or ICAL whatever it's a private or public one. As soon as we have XML of our calendar available I was wondering why not integrating Google calendar directly in website. For example a community that use the service to manage their events, or to display your future trips in your blog ?
First of all I jumped the cross-domain AJAX story since I'm reading data from Google server, I simply written a small PHP script which will read the feeds and resend it again. Then I used my old AJAX RSS Reader, Google calendar don't deliver RSS but it's just XML, it's not a big deal there is just few changes on the code the make it working.
