In-World Meetings
- The meetings timetable shouldn't be restricted to people who have the special apps installed, IMO.
- Is there some way in which we could get the calendar info automatically turned into a web page perhaps? --Morgaine Dinova 04:15, 9 October 2007 (PDT)
sorry, perhaps i should have explained better:
- the first link takes you directly to a web page with the calendar.
- the "Add to your google calendar" link takes you to google calendar where you can add it to your own google calendar.
- the "ICS " link allows you to add the calendar to pretty much any calendar tool.
