page if you've got permission. Just click on the date/time and do your
thing. If you've got a gmail account, and have permission to edit the
calendard, it seems you'll be automatically loaded into the edit page.
Kind of slick... IMHO.
It's basically as seamless as pmwiki calendar editing, except you've got
the full power of a modern calendar that you can share across the web
with others via various automated pathways. Way cool.

The main reason *not* to use it, in my experience, would be in a wiki
with multiple potential editors, not all of whom are known at the time
of setup -- then simply being able to provide an edit password for a
wiki using pmcal would be less administrative overhead.

Perhaps. However, it seems one could just as easily create a gmail
account for the wiki, and share the gmail login info with those you
wish -- thus creating sort of a repository for the wiki's info and
resources, including, but not limited to a gCalendar. As pointed out
by another poster, there's spreadsheets, presentations, docs, graphics
and more that can be linked into pmwiki from a gmail site. Those with
access to the gmail can edit this info in the 'real' format (such as a
spreadsheet) and have it show up changed on everyone's pmwiki in a
rather seamless fashion -- in many ways a lot easier than cut and
pasting a spreadsheet into a pmwiki page. The caveat would seem to be
one loses the ability to have internal wiki links within these
resources to other pages in your wiki. For all I know, there may be a
workaround for that by adding the full hyperlink to a wiki page within
the gdoc. <br>
<br>
There's also the big advantage of being able to make gCalendar public
for sharing. This allows anyone with a gmail account to add the pmwiki
gCalendar to their gCalendar with a couple simple clicks so all of the
times and dates of the wiki gCalendar are completely integrated with
one's personal gCalendar. The same applies to various external email
calendars having the ability to import iCal link info from the wiki's
gCalendar to their personal calendar via a simple copy and paste of an
ical Link. Fine print -- some of external email calendars imports of
iCal data from gCalendars appears to be a work in progress. <br>
<br>
In other words, it's possible for a pmwiki site to be used as a tool to
create and maintain a framework for linking various gdocs into an
interactive website with a fair amount of the editing and site's page
maintenance potentially being done in wysiwyg format in gDocs. <br>
