Thanks for the calendar, I am grateful for it.
I think am having trouble using it. I use Google Calendar anyway and have added public calendars before but I forget how I did it.
I went to the wiki page and clicked on the link. This downloaded a file to my computer. I then used the 'import calendar' option in Google Calendar and pointed to the downloaded file and this has successfully added 6 events to my calendar.
But I'm not sure this will update when new things are added at the Foundation end. Will it? I just have an idea that when I added calendars previously it was by adding a link rather than via a file on my computer.
Yes, you have taken the iCal file rather than the feed.
In Google Calendar, you need to Settings -> Calendars -> Browse interesting Calendars -> Add by URL
At that point, paste in the XML feed URL:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/wikimedia.org_1co89h9c5s99d0jt9ld1tlsol...
Then you're done. :-)
I imagine Mike's solution's URL might work too if you have philosophical issues about other people using proprietary software:
