It's nice, like our planner but arranged vertical not horizontaly. Of 
course with a different resolution as the planner always shows at least 
one month. Dayview is useing a similar algorithm.

Your welcome to do so.
I would not promisse to much, without looking at the code first, the 
calendar is a bit of a beast ;-)

The file is calendar/inc/class.uicalendar.inc.php the function is called 
week(). Please use the .16 branch and NOT .14!
