please add contact info for folks that are adding events
As the 'keeper' of the calendar, I would like to contact the person that has submitted the event request for several reasons. The person may have ommitted vital info, I may not believe that the event meets criteria for public designation, etc. But there is no way to contact, maybe you could require contact info for addmission request.

An contact field is a good idea, but I don't think we can make it mandatory.

I suppose we can add that as an option.. We'll have to think of where to put it, and a mechanism for allowing it to be updated. Maybe we can append it to the event description field so that it can be changed/removed at the discretion of the calendar owner.

Re: please add contact info for folks that are adding events
If someone wishes to post an event to a calendar, they should be willing to identify themselves. Anonymous postings especially if direct postings are allowed are a way to hide behind an unwillingness to be up front on things.

The only way now to counteract 'suspicious' postings is to arbitrarily delete a posting 'on suspicion' it may be either invalid or malicious. Having the need to include an e-mail contact point just makes good administrative sense in my view.

I really can't see any good reason to not provide such a safeguard.

Even if direct postings are not allowed, right now there's no way to 'speak' to the prospective poster to either clarify a posting or give guidance on the use of any localendar calendar.
