The latest events stuff (including RSVPs) is now in edge.  I look
forward to hearing feedback about it.

Where should it go next?  Please try to keep in mind I am looking for
ideas that apply very broadly to everybody and thus belong in core.
If you have a very specific need then you should probably add that by
over-riding the base CE stuff.

Some ideas I am considering:

1. Events are now only added by the administrator.  Should events be
more like blog posts where all users can add events?  You could then
view events per user.  Perhaps the Events list would collate all
events by date.  Perhaps this could use a review system where all
users can submit events, but only the administrator can publish.

2. RSVPs don't allow including a note.  Should they?  Perhaps a better
solution would be to enable comments for Events -- then you add your
comment to the event, not the RSVP (ala Facebook).

3. Reminder emails for events.

4. Export.  Output as iCal?  Links to add to Google calendar or Yahoo!
calendar?  RSS feed of Events?

I guess I'm looking for a consensus on the top one or two features
that everybody thinks is essential.
