It looks like all would be possible from the website as far as 
capability but, as far as I can see, not as possible on the wiki events 
page. As far as anyone having the ability to add events, I would say 
that even though this is already available on the wiki, that few events 
are added. And, when someone does have an event to add they usually ask 
for help to add this entry on the wiki. I believe we already have quite 
a number of people who have access permission to the website who could 
do this as well. Plus, let's not forget that the events calendar will be 
there in plain view for all visitors to see. This, a good sign as to how 
active our community is on the conferences circuit.

If we could eventually have categorization, and as Christian mentions, 
people make good use of this option, we could have a well-tuned calendar 
where even release dates could be posted as well as any other time-time 
sensitive material.

Let's not forget, that if there is a way to have some form of 
categorized reports for marketing planning, this will be an even larger 
advantaged given to the website based calendar solution.

Cheers

Marc


Hi :)

If it is a google-calendar then could the same calendar be shown in both places 
and up-dated from either of them?
