EventCalendar macro to export to icalendar
Hello! I'm an Outreachy intern with Debian and I have been working with my mentors to contribute to the EventCalendar macro, adding the possility to export the events' data to an icalendar file. I wrote a very simple HOWTO to about the changes I made to the macro, which can be found here: [https://wiki.debian.org/SocialEventAndConferenceCalendars/MoinMoinEventCalendar](https://wiki.debian.org/SocialEventAndConferenceCalendars/MoinMoinEventCalendar#preview) (sorry, I thought it was a bit long for an email and it has images, so it would be best if you could follow the link). I noticed a few Wikis that use the EventCalendar, such as Debian wiki itself and the FSFE wiki. Python wiki also use MoinMoin and EventCalendar, but it seems that they use a Google service to export the event data do iCal. Either way, would anyone on this list be willing to take a look at the code, maybe even test it, and give me some feedback, improvement suggestions? I really appreciate your input. Thank you, Renata D'Avila https://wiki.debian.org/RenataDAvila

When I looked at the Python Wiki page, it seemed like they just embed a Google calendar: the Python people like their Google stuff. You may have more luck talking directly with the FSFE and Debian people about their use of EventCalendar.

Personally, I haven't had time to take a closer look, unfortunately, apart from reading reports of your work. You may have noticed that this list is very quiet, which either means that no- one has anything to say or that there are now very few people on it. I think that the moin-user list largely has the same problem. At some point we will have to consider what needs to be done to re-activate Moin development because the current situation is not particularly satisfactory. Sorry that you didn't get any other feedback! Paul
