	I suspect that the calendar would be of far greater use to the NoVa LUG 
community if certain, non-administrative users were able to make changes 
and additions. If there are but a few root users (who are privileged to 
change the calendar or other web content), then those users become a 
bottleneck or choke point, precluding easy and swift changes to the 
LUG's web content. Furthermore, such practice actually defeats one of 
the primary purposes of having a CMS in the first place: to make it easy 
for the layperson to build and maintain web content by herself, without 
the help of a web professional.

	Just a thought.
