Yeah. for me personally an iCal file would work and fit into my workflow. Although I like the blog idea. It gives us the oppertunity to 'speak' as a group. 

But  I don't like maintaining a schedule on more than one place, that's asking for trouble in my opinion. So we need to figure out what the best source to store a schedule in. From an iCal file you can also go to html I think, so that might be the best format to store it in. 

Not sure how we can hook that into Aarons blog idea though. 

Best,

Toma
