}}The auto-update method relies on the wiki cache expiring on a weekly basis, though if this fails to occur (for whatever reason), minor updates to the article can easily force a cache-refresh.
The entire article effectively becomes a noticeboard for tacking memos about events (individual hCalendar event blocks) onto, with services such as Technorati's automatically detecting these then transforming the document into one suitable for subscribing in iCalendar, Google Calendar, Lightning etc.
Zai and I also figured out a solution to apply the template to non-persons (e.g. articles representing groups, not individuals) by passing a blank namespace parameter, which defaults to User, e.g. |namespace={{{namespace|User}}}
This means the existing Office Hours templates could be used for the Open Source meeting templates.
If the template isn't sufficient, then new wrappers to https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Template:hCalendar_event could be put together, or as with the table-row mode template for the Office Hours system, entirely new templates could be put together, so long as the output followed the hCalendar spec: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar
And yes, it is a great achievement, considering it has been languishing in development for over a year :-P

Marv, does this auto update and take care of the issues with the manually updated calendar that couldn't be group changed and ended up falling behind on changes?
