I don't know the best open source tool for this, and I don't care for 
Google-hosted calendars, and I'm not aware of any active/free/decent 
place that hosts iCalendar files these days. Why not just post an 
iCalendar .ICS file to this mailing list? Seems nealry good enough.

But the main problem is getting fresh data -vs- posting invalid calendar 
info. For example, LP-WA hasn't met in months, it's wrong to show them 
as meeting monthly. To really figure it out, you have to watch the list 
archive and the wiki. Recurring calendar files and wiki entries aside, 
you need meatbags to edit something a few days in advance, to get things 
correct.

For TA3M Seattle, I'd been wanting to create a list of recurring and 
upcoming events from related grups on the ta3m-seattle wiki. One of the 
local activist calendars is no longer running, it'd be useful to replace 
that. I was thinking to upload the .ics to the wiki, and put the text on 
the wiki page. The above problem has been blocking me from getting 
started with the event calendars of the various local groups. :-) If 
someone else was hosting it, I'd be happy to just point to that 
calendar, I don't need to have it hosted on TA3M-Seattle wiki.
