[Fellowship Zurich] Agenda du libre suisse / Freie Termine Schweiz

[Reinhard Müller]

Hi, François,

I'm including zurich at lists.fsfe.org since our calendar is a project of
the Fellowship group and I would like to involve everybody in the
discussion.

This would be ok with me.

If we all agree with the plan, we would probably use "Agenda du Libre"
as the title in the French version instead of "Freie Termine".

Currently PHPiCalendar does not honor the browser language setting. I
have no idea how hard it would be to implement this.

I have little experience with the way things like this are handled in
Switzerland: would it be preferred to have a shared calendar for all of
Switzerland, or would it make more sense to have a separate calendar for
the French speaking part?

Also, for the sake of avoiding misunderstandings: are you aware that
freie-termine.ch merely aggregates existing iCal feeds?

I think linking back and forth with agendadulibre.org (or with
ch.agendadulibre.org if we decide to make a separate calendar for the
French speaking part of Switzerland) is a good idea in any case.

What would others think about all this?
What's the opinion of the agendadulibre people?

Thanks,
Reinhard
