How do public tasks / calendar work? Am I missing something?

Hi folks,
everythings works fairly well and now I try to figure out how to use scalix as for what it was intended to be. It is years ago I played around with Exchange and those days we just used very less of Exchanges / Outlook features... so even knowing "it works like exchange did" does not help here, could someone pinpoint me to some screencasts or documentation or provide me with some hints about such scenarios:
1) Shepherd wants to assign tasks, want to be able to see all tasks and there status from his sheep.
2) Shepherd wants to see what dates his sheep have and when. Boss may want to set and cancel dates for his sheep.
I played around a bit and I think I do understand the delegate stuff including rights and permissions correctly. But what I do not get exactly is the above scenarios and the free/busy stuff. For example I add some folks to a meeting in the calendar but I don't see if they are available... did I miss something there too?
EDIT: doh! I just realised the tasks view has (nearly) the same options as the calendar view has, so basic functionality for the shepherd would be to just delegate the tasks and open those tasks in the tasks view. Anyhow, some more "groupware" hints? Free/Busy still an issue
EDIT2: doubledoh! I don't know why but everytime I did check the calendar for free busy information from other attendees it did not show anything, now it does from one day to another even I did check this for several days now... is there somewhere a setting for the free/busy options? Like update interval and such stuff?
