In
addition to Google Calendar (www.google.com/calendar) you
might
also look at www.spongecell.com
and www.kiko.com
I’ve
used all three to some extent, as I did significant
research over a couple of months trying to find a free, no ads, no spam
solution for a bible study group I lead at my church. I needed a
web-based
calendar solution – but one that is either low-cost or free, and has no
spam or ads…… You might think this would be an easy search with
lots of solutions. And, yes, there are a lot of webcalendars out in
the
market.
However,
what really narrowed the list of solutions down is the
next requirement: The web-calendar needs to be able send out
invites/RSVP’s
to an event that was added to the calendar and then handle the
responses (yes,
no, maybe) as well as comments from the guests. As if you are
holding an
event, you want to be able to track who is coming and any details about
them
(what food they are bringing to the event, etc…) in the comments
section.
These
are the only three solutions I found, and all three work
reasonably well. I’m hoping that the XWiki team could add some (or
all)
of these functions to XWiki or find a way to integrate one or more of
these
solutions into an XWiki Site.
The
current calendar in XWiki is really not usable in its
current incarnation (in my opinion) as it lacks important
functionality. (but
everything else about XWiki is really cool).
