[geeklog-devel] Meetups

[Vincent Furia]

The calendar plugin has, well, sucked, since I first started working on
Geeklog 7+ years ago (wow, has it really been that long?). There have been
at least 3 attempts I know of to "fix" the existing calendar and at least
one to replace it. They've all fallen through.

Maybe a replacement would make a good GSOC project? Or perhaps a sizable
bounty to fix or replace it? If we want to either of those routes (or both),
we should probably specify some requirements for the new calendar.
