Since Drupal drives a number of community Web sites, I'd like to see training on how to best create calendars. It seems there are some best practices building up in the community about this, especially with the advancement of various CCK modules.
Ideally, I'd want to be able to present calendars with events (perhaps classified by taxonomy) for different audiences on the same site. This might also tie in with groups or Organic Groups -- also topics I don't know much about yet but would, to my thinking be good candidates to cover at some point.
In terms of presenting that information -- how do you present calendars as calendars, as lists of upcoming events, as nodes/pages or as blocks, as iCalendar and RSS feeds, etc. All of these are part of what I think I'd ideally like to do with a community-based Drupal site, especially one that has some subdivisions for special interest groups or committees or whatever.
