Anything to make the page as easily update-able as possible. Where we 
fail at getting our events on the page is the ease of which events are 
able to be updated. If there is a way for people to just input into 
fixed fields and to worry about wiki text, then we will probably see 
more people participating in updating the events page.

But yes to reorganizing the page sound good.

Cheers,

Marc
