Unfortunately, Andreas, this is true. However, if we can manage, right 
from the start, an organized way of inputting our events, then all 
people inputting events would follow the same template; events would be 
categorized; participants would be noted in the events data. This would 
allow us to go back and evaluate our success at event participation and 
show LibreOffice users that we are organized at inputting events.

I would favour a website-based calendar for inputting events rather than 
a wiki page. There are enough of us now with admin rights to 
Silverstripe to input the events as they come up. And, even better, 
maybe some member(s) would take the initiative and input future events 
where a "call for participants" could be made on the lists. There would 
be no need to keep making up different wiki pages, the calendar database 
take care of storing the events.

If we can do a website calendar-based events registry then there is no 
reason to do it now. We just need someone to put it on the site and let 
us "users" who are interested in filling it start using it. No need for 
a wiki if we are using a calendar. Otherwise we are constantly trying to 
update too many pages.

Cheers,

Marc
