[WebCom] event calendaring - Fw: [Free Map] Mumbai Free Map Workshop, 13-14 January

[Tyler Mitchell]

I agree.  I just manually moved Intergeo down into the past events  
section.  I can set up a couple more content types - perhaps one for  
news items and one for events.  Then we can test it out and see what  
else we need for formatting, etc.

Does this sound good?  Let me know, otherwise I'll just pull together  
some examples for discussion.
