I looked into this and it looks like it can be done. It looks like some 
people are hoping for friendlier user of <iframe> in the next version 
3.0 of SilverStripe. Anyway, the pages where I found information on 
adding a Google Calendar on SiverStripe v.2.x.x  can be found here:

Thanks. If this is the case, then I would suggest the calendar owner be 
someone with a *.documentfoundation email and then this person could 
assign some trusted members as admins with full rights who could then 
add admin with create/delete events rights.

That's great! Then this would allow us to show the Google Calendar on 
the website for our website visitors, AND, to show the same Google 
Calendar on the wiki for our work purposes. Both would be updated at the 
same time through the main Google Calendar account. I have tried the 
"share" admin function of Google Calendar and it works quite well. The 
only requirement is that admin people need to have a Google account.

BTW ... the DE team uses a Google Calendar plugin on their Joomla site 
here: http://lo-portal.de/termine.html -- plugin: GCalendar
