(same hiccup -- due to a translation from hyphen to plus in email addresses on my incoming mail, my reply-all went to pmwiki [EMAIL PROTECTED] never made it to the list. Damn postfix+cyrus.)

(and similar vCard format for a business directory) In short, yes of course this can be done. The question would be 1) how to go about it in general 2) how much of the POSSIBLE vCalendar data should it support? 3) should it work from a data perspective -- such as PageTextVariables? or a page attribute perspective? Or should the recipe attempt to read data off the page in some other way? 4) should it integrate with an existing calendar recipe or be something that stands alone? In the short term you may want to create calendar events in your own application (iCal, Outlook, etc.), export a vCalendar event file, and Attach:file.ext the vCalendar file to the wiki Calendar page (regardless of which recipe for calendars/events you use, this will work! :) ). It might require adding a new file extension/mime type to your config.php -- but that's all -- and it would work as any attachment would. This is the "you don't need to know php" version. I also wonder if there's a DTD that translates vCalendar into a usable XHTML display format, in which case maybe it could be in a popup window or javascript frame?
