I was hoping that the calendar could manage categories. If used by NL 
sites, does it show ALL of the events regardless of languages? I was 
hoping that we could filter in/out categories, for example report on 
events for the last year in N.America and S.America or by NL events. If 
not then we could do it by hand.

Is it still on the live site? I can't seem to find it.

I am all for moving the wiki events calendar to the CMS. It should be 
implemented for all languages. As usual, the NL teams could decide if 
they would want to have it or not. Not sure where it would sit on the 
menu, the "Get Involved" menu is already quite a busy menu line. Looks 
like the next logical place is in the "About Us" as this is where blogs 
and Twitter feeds are found.

Does this sound like a good idea everyone? Move the wiki events calendar 
to the CMS calendar? This way, we will have a history/record of past 
events for planning and marketing strategy.

Cheers

Marc
