Definitely something we need to sort out if we are ging to make it<br>
easier for people to jump in. Thanks for taking this on emmajane.<br>

These sound good to me (with current projects being set with those<br>
arbitrary deadlines). The events on g.d.o will allow us to do multi-<br>
day events, so we can do the theme of the week ones as well. My only<br>
thought on the list is that people may not want *all* of those<br>
different things showing up in their calendars. USing taxonomy gives<br>
us handy RSS feeds so people can follow the feeds that they want. I'm<br>
not sure that the iCal calendar would do the same thing for us.<br>

I've added you as an admin to the docs group (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/documentation-team" target="_blank">http://groups.drupal.org/documentation-team</a><br>
) so you can get in and see what we have to work with. Feel free to<br>
ping me about what is set up so far. We do have a vocabulary, which we<br>
can expand/change, that currently just has "meetings" and "sprints" in<br>
it.<br>

Yeah, I hope to get to the bottom of that one, since that should just<br>
be happening for us AFAIK.<br>
