Bloomingpedia (http://www.bloomingpedia.org), for example is a virtual encyclopedia about Bloomington, Indiana that tries to make it so that any person interested in information about Bloomington can go there and only search amongst related information. It also documents a lot of information that is not available on the Internet. You should seriously look into the growing phenomenon of City Wikis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Wiki).

In the videotext era of the '80s, I promoted the 'information utility' as a type local development corporation -- an approach with excellent tax and capital features but years too early! I'm reminded of these encouraging words: "Local initiatives should have substantial content and communities should plan investments and administer services which would reassert the importance of places so people could rise with their communities not in spite of them."

I am more of a SW generalist with DB, web content and project management experience; For the past year or so I've been working with non-profit communities. I assume you have access to my email address via this comment if you want to contact me.

That way everybody goes home -- or to your event -- happy (and with Django it's fairly straightforward to do; if you want, say, an iCal version of an event calendar, it's pretty much entirely a matter of pointing at a different template).
