Look at this nifty and useful Google Calendar implimentation on Greg Kowalski's FRANKLIN TODAY blog:
This is exactly the kind of useful content that a community blog should offer. Bonus feature: If you have a Google Calendar account (and/or iCal on a Mac), you can subscribe to Greg's City of Franklin Calendar and have those events integrated into your own calendar and automatically updated.
That's pretty handy.
The official City of Franklin website has a calendar module as well, and it isn't so bad. It looks like this:
Clicking "View all Events" sends you to a page with a longer list of city events as well as links to agendas and meeting minutes.
I think, however, the city could stand to emulate Kowalski's use of free Google services so citizens can subscribe, for instance, to meetings covering certain TOPICS and ISSUES as well as gathering of specific commissions and committees.
Inching closer to transparency ....
