Filtering SharePoint calendar by Start Time

Trying to filter WSS 3.0 calendar list by Start Time column. This column doesn't appear in filtered columns list. I found solution that is a workaround, but at least it solved my problem. So,

Let's go step by step:

1. Open Calendar list settings.
2. Add new column called (by example) Begin.
3. Choose "Calculated" as a type of new column.
4. In the Formula field insert the following formula:=[Start Time]
5. Select Date and Time as data type of new column.
6. Clear check from "Add to default view" checkbox.
7. Save the new column.
8. Now you should be able to use the column called Begin instead of Start Date when you need to filter calendar list.

What elements make a good Project Mangement Resource Center in SharePoint?

What elements make a good Proposal Resource Center in SharePoint?
On a High level I would say that:
• Enables the sharing of proposal related documents through all stages
• Uses shared task assignments, calendars to support collaborative communications
• Enables real-time strategic and tactical decision making
• Uses workflow processes to monitor and discipline teams
• Makes data retrieval and related internal communications virtually instantaneous
• Reduces the cost of training project management staff
• Improves compliance by creating a comprehensive audit trail

What do you think on a detailed level this means in SharePoint?
