How easy would it be to set up something on, or connected to, Django People? Registration is already taken care of there, which would help provide ready access by people wanting to contribute an event to the database without its being a free-for-all. And Django People - as a community of individuals - probably does have the information that would be required to make the database useful. Perhaps one of the social networking modules already has the required functionality. I know from experience how difficult it is to co-ordinate this kind of information manually, even with far smaller groups. With something the size of the Django community, it could easily be a full-time job, not just a few hours a week.
