[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen community calendar

[Dan Scott]

This came up relatively quickly last night on IRC, so thanks to Jason
Etheridge for in turn setting up http://evergreen-ils.org/calendar - we
now have a community calendar that anyone can add their group or
committee's events to; all that is required is a Google account and the
ability to edit the wiki page. I've written up brief instructions how to
add a calendar and add an event to a given calendar here:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=calendar:editing_the_community_calendar

Jason seeded things with the "Evergreen ILS Community Calendar", used
for the Community IRC meetings, and I've added calendars for the
"Evergreen ILS Governance Committee" and "Evergreen ILS Developers".
You can see the initial results of that at
http://evergreen-ils.org/calendar -  I was starting to worry about
missing meetings, but now that I have added the pertinent calendars to
my own calendar, I'm not worried any more :)

I think it would be great to add calendars for the DIG, WIG,
Communications Committee, Reports task force, etc.

(It turns out that Karen Schneider had set up a similar community
calendar year(s) ago but apparently almost nobody knew about it and it
didn't get much use: that's Karen, always ahead of her time!)

Oh, and a quick plan for making this calendar visible is to create a
high-level "Community" page that would link in turn to the blog, planet,
IRC, mailing lists, and now the calendar. And then I'll remove those links
from our standard header and replace it with a "Community" link to the
community page, with a whiz-bang drop-down menu for those who have
JavaScript enabled.
