yes, either typing in the date or selecting it from a calendar (there is
the problem with getting the format right). locations probably need to
be for-defined set like tick boxes for each UK collective

that needs a technical solution, but i think yossarian had an idea about
that while we were discussion that in the pub last week. in any case
automatic, and not through manually copying the url of the calendar
entry. it needs to be a "one-stop posting".

yes, it would be a tagging by date.
so it could lead to a calendar that has two parts: one is forward
looking with the announcements, the other one backward looking thereby
forming an archive where you can click on the event or the whole day.
