I think there's scope for collaboration here. I've been corresponding with Ville Säävuori (the guy who did the EuroPython Web site lightning talk last year) about Web site stuff, and one of the things he's interested in is dynamic timetables. > I assume the HTML on that page was generated dynamically from a > database; if I saw the code I'm sure I could write the equivalent for > iCal and send the patch to the maintainer. I don't know what John and company has done, but it looks like very structured information that a program might have produced from a database of some kind. > I feel like I should know these things from previous EuroPython > IRC meetings. I'm sorry that I didn't pay enough attention. No need to be sorry: I doubt that we touched on these things. I like the presentation of the timetable, and I appreciate the lack of pop-ups which, in my opinion, made the original PyCon (not PyCon UK) timetables not so nice to navigate, but I understand that dynamic timetables and iCalendar support can be interesting to some people, even though they don't seem like high priority things when putting everything else together for the conference. Paul P.S. Out of impatience and for some amusement, I wrote a nasty little program to parse the timetable page and produce an iCalendar file.
