New King County Dems Community Calendar

Fellow King County Democratic activists,

I�m writing to let you know about major improvements in our web-based �Community Calendar� (http://www.kcdems.net/calendar.) �The presentation and business logic layers have been completely re-written.� What this means is that you can now submit events using a web form.��

If you are an �admin� these events will immediately be published.� If you are not an admin, rather than (the old system of) waiting for a single calendar editor to post your event, any of our web site admins (me, Suzie, Chad, and Tina) can approve the event.�

We also have a new �Manage� view (http://www.kcdems.net/calendar/manage.aspx) that allows visitors to see different views of calendar events.

Please take a look and reply to me or leave a comment on the blog if you have any questions or suggestions.� Thanks�
