Hi all,
I'd be grateful if any enwiki admins could add themselves to the list at the bottom of http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events/Geonotices.
Geonotices for some events have been a bit hap hazard lately, with some going up at very short notice. I don't think every event or meetup needs a geonotice, but I'm hoping to use that page to track our use of them and to provide somewhere for folks to make uncontroversial requests for one that will hopefully get a faster response than the existing mechanisms on enwiki, as well as a list of admins who can be bugged for urgent requests.
Don't worry, it doesn't involve anything too much like work - if anyone organises an event they want to bring to the attention of the wider WP community, they can list it there, and somebody will hopefully sort it.
Cheers, Harry
(PS, if there are any enwiki admins who don't know how to put up a geonotice, just copy and paste from this diff and change the message to the message you want, the start date to the current date and time, and the end date to the day of the event!)

I don't do javscript, but it looks like it should be trivially easy to add an hCalendar microformat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hCalendar
to that, to make the events downloadable as iCal files.
Could you or anyone work with me on that?
I'm afraid I'd be *way* out of my depth on anything like that. Sorry.
Harry

I believe Fae has made a template for something similar which we use on the London Wikimeet pages....
