If you just want to add events to the calendar you should just be able =20
to post the events by using curl to put the file into ZideStore.  I =20
suppose an example of how to do that would be a good thing for WMOGAG.

Sure;  that is the reason I don't like the 'folder model'.   But in =20
OGo there aren't calendarS,  there is the calendar and the folders are =20
just views.  You can make events appear in multiple folders [views];  =20
the standard folders are based on permissions.  Or you can enable the =20
Overview folder [see WMOGAG or the docs plone] and add "all intranet" =20
as a participant (See Bug#1916) to the appointments you want all users =20
to see.

And there is holiday support - =20

think these show up via ZideStore.
