[Mediawiki-l] Calendars for MW?

[Hans Voss]

I know. Rob is right.

However where I work we have selected MediaWiki as the best tool for
what we require. And then it is a good idea to integrate some
calendaring functionality into the Wiki (as in, preferable over using
another tool).

I have found the calendar extension very useful (wikicalendar by
Christof Damian.
