What's with these calendars?

Eventually, the calendars below will roll off the screen - you can find them again by clicking on the link under important stuff. This is a little bit of an on-line experiment I must admit. By putting the calendars up in this form, we can update the calendar in real-time. We don't need to wait for changes to be published, and then passed on for putting up on the website.

Depending on the up take, it also means that anyone with permission can edit information contained in the calendars. The end goal here is to have a consolidated calendar that is updated in one place. If member councils choose to, they can have the calendar showing up on their website or blog too - the data will come from the same place so the calendars will all say the same thing (no out of date stuff on the sites).

Once the CDEM Group website is live, we'll have the calendars there too - there won't be any double or triple handling, just linking to the source. Let's see how it goes.
