A Calendar Page

apeiron:
Would it be possible to have a calendar listing events that Forge members are hosting or attending?  This is the calendar i made for NoVA Game Smiths.

Ron Edwards:
That's a good idea!

Regarding the software you're using, is this the kind of thing that someone can set up on a webpage, then others can update? Or does it require a central person to whom others submit the information?

Best, Ron

With a google calendar you can authorize certain people to be editors, or have one person do it all.  The calendar would reside in the profile of one person's gmail account.  Google Apps for your Domain might be perfect (and it's free).  It has many wonderful tools.

You might be able to find a more sophisticated system that will run on the same server as the forum.  Some kind of PHP plugin maybe.

i guess it depends on how much work you want to do.  The google apps thing would be very little work up front, but you get what they give you (quite a bit).

Christoph Boeckle:
SMF has an in-built calendar function which is quite okay. Each entry to the calendar is tied to a particular thread (multiple calendar entries can point to the same thread). Attendances would be notified by regular posts to the thread. I think that it's possible to define who has the rights to add events to the calendar.

apeiron:
That sounds great if it can integrate with the existing forum!
