This was a proof-of-concept, but the redesign needs more thought. I think a separate site will allow more flexibility in presentation and design.
I'm not sure how much information most publicly-visible Google calendars provide, but this example's pretty slim. Doesn't begin to rival the appearance or level of detail of the existing implementation. Those of us who care need to come up with a design. My first question has to do with existing resources: Is there a website already in existence that could serve as a host for calendar postings from the community? Second question: In the meantime, how shall we handle updates to the existing site? The Jan 31 event will go 'stale' in less than a week.
