John and Hans,

Thanks for your tips.  I have to get used to create 
group.header/footer.  I haven't gotten the grasp of wikigroups, I don't 
know why.

I noticed PmCal containing all the dates are "broken" links whereas 
WikiCalendar provided actual dates (correct months, days, etc).

I like the look of PmCal, but I need to create a page for next month?  
WikiCal does it automatically.

I"m blown away by what Pmwiki can do.
