I like the idea of an office hour.  We could encourage other people
who want to give input on the calendar project to show up and ask
questions and share their thoughts.  Having the office hours would be
more useful if accompanied by blog posts and announcements to tell
people what we want from them.

If you're specifically looking to refine the use cases, you would
probably want to have a list of questions you want people to answer to
help with that refining process.  Not just "How can we make a good
calendar?", but rather questions like, "When you are $doing_action_X,
do you generally prefer to do $Y, $Z, or something else entirely?"
