The New Updated Guild Calendar is out! Click here to get your copy ..> wow.curse.com/downloads/details/1958/
Be sure you install it into your Warcraft/Interface/Addon's folder. If it is not loaded there it will not show up. Go ahead had say yes to all when asked to overwrite all info. Once installed you can configure it in game,
Check the ADDONS button at your character Screen to be sure it is there, then in game you open it but clicking your mini map moon/sun area. It will now show as a clock. Then the Set Up tab at the bottom. Choose Automatic Guild Data channel. Then the button in the middle to enable or Connect. It will take a few minutes to Sync but then you shoud begin seeing our new events.
Important things to know
Group Calendar 4 will not talk to version 3 or to betas of version 4. All guild/alliance members must upgrade before everyone will see and be able to sign up for all events again. Do not upgrade to 4.0 until your guild is ready to upgrade as a group. All release versions of GC4, including future releases, should work fine with any other release version of GC4.
You MUST restart WoW to upgrade from GC3 to GC4. Group Calendar will warn you if you try to upgrade in-game with a reloadui and will disable itself until you restart WoW.
Events you created will still be there when you upgrade, but all events from other players will be purged. They'll begin showing up again as those players upgrade to GC4.
About Group Calendar
Group Calendar allows guilds or groups of friends to share an in-game event calendar. The guild can post raid events and members can post events for dungeons they need to do quests for. Additionally, players can provide feedback to the event's sponsor saying that they will or won't be attending an event. Once installed Group Calendar replaces the minimap current time tooltip and sun & moon icon. This can be used to open the UI or it can be opened using the /calendar command.

FEATURE: Event templates remember up to the last five variations on an event type (you can schedule "Karazhan Alpha" and "Karazhan Beta" and it will remember your setting preferences for both)
FEATURE: /cal slash command added -- same as /calendar, just shorter, and /calendar still works too
FEATURE: /cal command now shows help by default (use "/cal show" to show the GUI)
FEATURE: New '/cal history numdays' command to set the number of days to keep events
