I guess not. I have just attached a screenshot to [1] to give you an
idea of how the calendar  looks. As you can see from the address bar
it's just a simple navigator that links to wiki pages which names
contain a date pattern. This allows you to create a wiki page for a
given date if it does not exist yet or just navigate to it if it's
already there.

BTW if you already have your own trac environment set up you can just
add the macro by dropping the WikiCalendarMacro.py file in your
<tracenv>/wiki-macros and see for yourself how it works.

Well, the calendar control as it is now is pretty simple compared to
Sunbird. But if you combine it with the Blog macro you will also get
the full text for the wiki pages for a given month aggregated in one
page. How does this match your requirements?

It doesn't do this. What's you usage scenario for the iCal files?

That's what the WikiCalendar macro does.

What will this association do? Will it send emails to these people if
the wiki page gets updated? (I think I saw a trac extension of some
sort for that)
