About Group Calendar

Group Calendar allows guilds or groups of friends to share an in-game event calendar. The guild can post raid events and members can post events for dungeons they need to do quests for. Additionally, players can provide feedback to the event's sponsor saying that they will or won't be attending an event. Once installed Group Calendar replaces the minimap current time tooltip and sun & moon icon. This can be used to open the UI or it can be opened using the /calendar command. For instructions on how to set up Group Calendar for your guild or for your personal use, see the online user's manual

Important information about version 4.3

4.3 and newer versions will not talk to previous 4.x versions (including the 4.3 betas) so your guild or alliance must all upgrade. Severing the ability to communicate with previous versions was necessary because of two serious bugs which caused your data to be modified as it got passed from player to player while you are offline. This resulted in the "your events were changed from another computer" messages and loss of events or signups if you chose to accept those changes. By not allowing 4.3 to talk to previous versions it prevents that bug from corrupting the events, but it means the guild must all update.
