Right. But it also needs that I be a yahoo user. :(

perhaps to mine. Why are we still stuck in the domain thing.

The way I would have liked is to be able to subscribe to say Pune
Tech's calendar and in turn Pune Tech could subscribe to my FOSS
calendar (or public calendar or whatever I wanted to share. )  This
would have been so much nicer, easier and happier for both of us.

 Also if you make the effort of calendaring and want to credit, there
could be a small logo which is along with the event which I could
forward if & when I forward the event to somebody.

That would be cool. If somebody wants to works on it they could
probably use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar as a starter.

As always feedback is appreciated.


And its pretty doable.
