[Web4lib] Re: Non-google online calendar systems

[Roberta Wilder]

We used iCal from Brown Bear Software for free online calendars before we
decided we liked it well enough to purchase it for our site.  You can find
it at http://www.brownbearsw.com/freecal/freehome.html   - The free
calendars work pretty well (most of the time).
