Hi Christian:

Thanks for the events calendar on the website. Yes, there does seem to 
be quite some lack of interest on this topic, although, I think it is a 
good marketing tool that we should consider.

We have been using the wiki events calendar for a while, if you browse 
the other NL pages you will see that they are simply not updated and the 
teams need to update the material by hand and those that are being kept 
up to date, some of the events have been deleted and lost. These lost 
events, IMO, could have been used for PR and marketing planning for the 
following year.

Of the two methods, I would prefer the Website hosted calendar. It is 
more accessible to the visitors to the site and more public that the 
wiki pages. In my opinion, I would vote we migrate the events wiki page 
calendar to the website and then close the wiki page calendar. This will 
allow visitors a more public view of where events are being held and add 
a certain amount of familiarity to all -- the calendar look on the main 
website is more universal in look and is quite easy to use.

Unless anyone else speaks up and offers a good reason why we should keep 
the calendar on the wiki pages, we should move them to the website.

Cheers

Marc
