On the format, a wiki is practical for our users, but not for people new to the system - even if they are comfortable editing, using a complicated table is definitely a deterrent. We actively discourage posting contact details, for obvious reasons, which adds an extra hurdle to confirming - as we need names and contact details, we have to be able to follow up is they don't post them.
(unrelatedly, I did sign up, but no email - can someone check if I am in fact registered?)

Well the publicly posted list appeared to be working fairly well and
allows people to judge if this is an event they want to attend. The
most effective way of dealing with privacy related information is not
to collect it in the first place and since Mcdonald Road Library is
hardly a controlled area there is no real reason to.
