I am quite aware of this. .ics might be created from a wiki page, too - even though I am not sre how at tha moment.

The fact that > the Debian life goes on with events (being there on debian-events-*@ > or other lists or wiki) means that this problem is not so critical. So we disagree. To elaborate: unupdates pages (especially event/news or similar) at least to me create the impression that nothing is happening in a community. If a page is not there or even better links somewhere with less official but at least halfway current information this impression will not be created. So, your option would be to leave the situation as it is? Or what is your proposal? cu AW -- [...] If you don't want to be restricted, don't agree to it. If you are coerced, comply as much as you must to protect yourself, just don't support it. Noone can free you but yourself. (crag, on Debian Planet) Arne Wichmann (aw@linux.de)
