also agree with Kasimir, google apps for your domain would be the
easiest if you want a calendar. I played around with semantic
mediawiki for this purpose though, it works, but it's certainly not
simple for people who don't like computers.
Which I fear is a problem for MediaWiki in general ... Anyway,
suggestions to further simplify Semantic MediaWiki are always welcome. Or
maybe we need to improve the documentation?

No, I think it does a good job doing what its main design is, saying
something like this article subject was "born in" some date etc. But
using it instead of a Lotus Notes/Outlook/Google calendars would be
rough for non-tech people. I don't really think it should try harder
to be those apps though, its not. It is actually flexible enough to
use in that way though, if you need to, but I wouldn't want it to be
the use-case that I was hoping would switch people to liking wikis.
:D
If you're hoping to convert people, use mediawiki for procedures and
documentation, that's way easier than calendaring :)
