appointment calendar

Commonly used programs for scheduling appointments include:

Sunbird
Lightning (a Thunderbird email add-on)
Microsoft Outlook, part of the Microsoft Office Suite

Such programs allow collaboration by revealing open slots to others. Open calendar programs use the iCalendar format RFC 2445 for interchange.

A feature to look for is a PDA version of the program that can be synched with the desktop version.
One major weakness of such programs is they cannot warn you of a coming appointment unless they are running. They properly should have a tiny component that runs all the time in the background taking up almost no RAM or CPU cycles, or should use OS facilities to wake them up.

Applications with iCalendar support: import/export
