Revive events thread with new volunteers instead?
I just tried taking a look at the FT Calendar for July to see the event listings you speak of.
It took me a LONG time to find them. They didn't stand out at all. Most of the calendar is cluttered with FTer birthdays.
I really don't think the Calendar is going to be that useful for this purpose. Also, there seemed to be some performance problems with it, at least on my computer.
Maybe we ought to recruit some new volunteers to resurrect and maintain the events thread. There must be some FTers out there who have the time and energy; and if they get burned out on it after a few months, we could recruit some new ones. @:-)
