I need to add event calendar functionality to my application, and I'm wondering what do you think is the best way to do it ? Are there any interesting projects providing the needed functionality ? A snippet : http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/129/ ? Write it on my own ?
Without knowing the level of complexity you need, I always suggest quick and easy first. Once minimum requirements are established you can confidently migrate.
Django Flatpages can take you a long way with very little effort.
