I agree that eventfinder, volunteer, RSVP, and signup (are there  
more?) should be linked to event from THEIR pages....but not  
necessarily from the event page. They are related modules. Event  
works without them.

Easy enough to edit them back in. I'm taking the tack of just doing  
it...I will happily edit the changes back in.

My same opinion stands on flexisearch -- link to flexinode from its  
handbook page, but not on the flexinode handbook page. As I've done  
on the actual event project page, I think linking there as related  
modules works.

The code, usability, hard to themeness, and general problems/issues  
of repeating events, timezones, etc. It's like saying "This is a  
simple module to do rocket science...". There was a smiley there, I  
guess I can just hear killes voice in my head saying "This is a  
simple module..." :P
