Probably just me being picky, but I wanted something that actually laid things out on a calendar interface but let others edit and add to them. The Google Calendars in mediawiki would work great if you could make them world editable or have them use the same accounts as the mediawiki install itself.

But riddle me this - why can't I seem to find any good wiki-like Calendar apps? Am I missing something? Doesn't it seem like the having the ability to add and annotate entries in a wiki-like way to a Calendar is both desireable and kind of obvious. And yet everytime the idea comes to me and I look, and I don't find it. Everyone always mumbles 'jotspot' but that's like the app that google ate and never burped back up. Sorry if this is off topic, your post just jarred it lose. Cool. But riddle me this - why can’t I seem to find any good wiki-like Calendar apps? Am I missing something?
