I know we have to improve all the GUI parts as the Google calendar.
Basically I did not much concentrate about GUI parts because tried to
finish the web services part very first. And now I'm trying to improve
the interfaces using some javascript capabilities. 

The thing is if we put the username in the login page that field has to
be unique. Then we have to asked to the user to enter the unique
username when he register with the system. That's why I thought to put a
userId field because users can have different userIds even though they
have same usernames.

For the sessions we can generate a session id for the user at the login 
time.
