(I know this is not related to the post but i can’t find any ccantot email on the site! .. nor could I find any demo calendars to quickly look at without having to install it to see it!)I’m looking for calendar scripts to recommend to people (event promoters, venue managers, artists, etc) for syndicating their events/gigs/etc to portals, aggregators, etc.I run an events listings website and would like people to be able to add their data feeds from their own site alternative to having to re-enter re-enter them for each event.preferred formats: RSS+hCalendar, hCalendar on page(RSS+Event or iCal possible if the city can be defined somehow) the RSS feeds provided by the few calendar scripts I’ve seen out there as plugins for a popular CMS are not suitable they don’t have dates or cities!requirements:must have seperate fields for city/country and event dates. (and dates must not be ambiguous ISO preferred)My site has listings for lots of different countries and people can look up events by city and date so of course this data is required.Microformats could come to the rescue In hCalendar entries, cities could be marked up under location as vcard or adr also geo can be used for coordinates (for both mapping and place name disambiguation)I see a lot of calendar scripts out there but none that meet these requirements with significant modification!I also see an increasing amount of so-called calendar feeds that are NOT calendar feeds.If the event dates are there and not machine readable it is NOT much use to a calendar application!I was looking for a demo if your calendar has any of these features or could be easily made to do them by non-technical people.I think being able to let people submit a data feed from their own site is the way of the future for Events listings sites and portals generally, not only mine but for this to really move beyond a few develelopers there really needs to be some calendar scripts for people to can generate suitable feeds use that are easy for the average person to set up. Given that there are already scripts out there for doing gig calendars I thought I’d try and ccantot a few of the developers to find out their thoughts on this and if there is likely to be anything that can be used this way anytime soon.(if not could I write an add-on for this I could give to people?)
