Without delving into the code to fully understand the process... It would require using the OOB messaging process to pass the calendar entry data from the player to the GM (the GM will need to create the calendar entry on behalf of the player as the player doesn't have full access to the calendar portion of the database), then keeping the access correct to allow players to view the records. The problem would come with assigning ownership of a player calendar entry - what if 2 players want to add an entry on the same day? Do you end up with an entry for each player? What if they player wants to share their entry with the other players? This could soon get very complex - which is more than likely the reason why it hasn't been done yet.

The consideration right now is that FG only supports the concept of one owner for each data record. The GM can always edit all data, but the player can only edit records that they own. Even then, there are situations where there are race conditions between player/GM editing the same record, which can cause some strangeness.
To allow "public" editing of records would mean that an entirely new concept of editing would need to be defined within FG to define when fields should be "locked" or "unlocked" based on whether people are currently editing the fields or not. Otherwise, it would be chaos as people overwrote each other, and data was lost therein.
