Ah, fun. I see this is a known problem that Tom Morris pointed out last year: http://microformats.org/wiki/h2vx#robots.txt_prevents_subscription_in_Google...
Quite why Google Calendar is misusing robots.txt like this, I don't know... (it's natural to use robots.txt to keep pages from appearing in the google search index, but that shouldn't then also apply in this sort of situation.)
I'll see if I can figure out a work-around for subscribing to the calendar, but it'll take me a day or so. In the meantime, you can always download the calendar file and import it into Google Calendar...
Thanks, Mike

I cannot subscribe in Google Calendar because it says robots.txt does not allow crawling.

Hi all,
I've incorporated the hcalendar microformat into the office hours template, and http://h2vx.com/ics/ provides an open source solution (based on http://microformats.org/wiki/x2v) for converting hcalendar microformats into iCal files.
You can download the ical from: http://h2vx.com/ics/https%3A//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours or subscribe to it at: webcal://h2vx.com/ics/https%3A//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
All open source, no duplication of data or increased maintenance costs. The only downside is that the template call is a bit more complex now, particularly because an end time needed to be specified.
Please let me know if anyone encounters any problems with this solution...
Thanks, Mike
