Hi Gary,I am working with a non-profit - a school, where we have removed their html calendar from their website, and replaced it with a public Google calendar. Now anyone (that is authorized) can add events to the school calendar, and they do not have to wait for the annoying web designer (me) to update it. Also parents, teachers and students can add the school calendar to their personal Google calendar or Outlook, or to their iPhone or Blackberry, so they always know when the school is closed or there is an after-school activity planned. We are also working on setting up that if an event is planned, everyone who has subscribed to the calendar will get an notification. Therefore school closing due to school can be easily relayed.
The one problem that I am having is that Joomla does not seem to work with the Google Calendar very well. I have tried to insert the Google-supplied code in a custom HTML module, as well as an article with the html code, but it will not show the calendar. I am sure there is probably an extension available, but why wouldn't a custom html module work? Any suggestions?

As a somewhat offtopic note on this... I noticed that Google Wave has a
form for organisations to profess interest of setting up the same service
under their domain, similar to how Google apps run today. So sometime in
the future, you can setup wave.mydomain.com and point that domain over to
Google Wave and have it all branded under your domain.
Which has gotten me thinking about Google app/Joomla integration more, as I
see it as a stepping stone to Google Wave/Joomla integration.

My apologies, I raised the question on a dual purpose and only one was
explicit. The explicit is here are some cool ideas the Joomla group could
pursue as a non profit.
The implicit was here are some cool ideas for any non profits, so any
feedback from people who work with non profits if things like setting up
email addresses for people from within Joomla, calendar, etc but using the
Google apps as a backend sound interesting/useful.
I should also mention, this is not limited to non profits. Anyone can
upgrade a Google apps account to do this, it's just regular businesses pay
50/per user/per year for it[prorated, so if you have 10 users at the start
of the year, and 5 leave and 5 new ones come on, you only pay 500 for the
year not 750!]
