Not fussed where it would be located.  The web interface makes good 
sense - there are certainly plenty of PHP calendering tools that could 
be leveraged to do this.  Though I would say this is an important 
feature.  I don't think current scheduling is flexible enough and often 
requires fiddly manipulation to set monitoring and notification 
schedules to cater for longer linear time events versus daily schedules.
