In addition to the proprietary/free issue, duplicating

a maintenance perspective. As far as I know, there's no automatic sync in
place, so the wiki and Google are inevitably going to fall out of sync.
There are other reasons to keep the information centralized, but until the
wiki can support XML and iCal output, the benefit of using Google outweighs
the cost.
Just to address this: the people duplicating the content are folks like
myself, Oliver, Philippe and Lydia who have to schedule office hours and
make sure they get into someone's calendar anyway. Using a shared calendar
(rather than putting them in the attendee's individual calendar alone) is
actually much more efficient on our end.
