The original install was about a year go, when WordPress was still v2.x I've had no trouble with <a href="http://bob.jonkman.ca/blogs/wp-admin/edit-comments.php" title="Comments ‹ This Blog Is Not For Reading — WordPress" rel="nofollow">WP Events Calendar on Stop The Stink</a> until recently: The two entries for CPAC (6 and 30 June) don't appear on calendars imported from the iCal feed, even though the entries do appear in the .ics file. Have you tried asking on the <a href="http://www.wp-eventscalendar.com/forum/" title="Forum | WP Events Calendar" rel="nofollow">WP Events Calendar forum</a>? --Bob.

Have you tried asking on the WP Events Calendar forum?

While I can download an iCal feed/.ics file, it is always empty. There are clearly events on the calendar, I've tried adding events since I've enabled iCal for Events Calendar plugin, still nothing. You can see the calendar at http://phillystartupleaders.org/calendar I'm using WordPress 3.1.1 WP Events Calendar 6.7.9 iCal for Events Calendar v1.1.1 and I don't have any other iCal plugins activated (we had recently tried iCal Posts) Any ideas?

It is as generic as it can get, so _kernel_ itself isn't lightweight. But IMHO it is the choice of applications and windows manager that makes the biggest difference - it just doesn't make sense to use KDE4 or GNOME3 on 256MB. Though I'm not sure if you can run Debian on system with 128MB RAM (I will admit -- I'm basing this on the amount of RAM used by my AMD64 installation, so it may be possible to do).

I'm surprised that the Debian distro would be lightweight, even with Xfce. Is it just the choice of windows manager (& apps) that makes a distro lightweight? Or are there differences in what gets compiled into the kernel as well? --Bob. Thanx Todd. I’m surprised that the Debian distro would be lightweight, even with Xfce.

Lightning in Thunderbird, or Google Calendar. I hadn't thought of using an external calendar store, then making it accessible in WordPress. I'll have to investigate that a bit further.

We're looking to implement a calendar system for our website (WP) as well. I was hoping that the backend would be a proper calendar server rather than a plugin. What are you using right now? Hey Bob,

just noticed this blog now. We’re looking to implement a calendar system for our website (WP) as well. I was hoping that the backend would be a proper calendar server rather than a plugin.

What are you using right now?
