This demonstrates a form that can be attached to each EventAnnouncement topic.

This form should be filled in when the topic is created.

Name Type SizeSorted descending Values Tool tip
When text 40   When the event occurs.
One Liner text 40   A one-line description of the event.
State radio 3 Future, Past, Planning The current state of this event

Note that the "When" could be of type "date", which would provide a pop-up calendar to assist in selecting a date. However, only one date can be selected, and we have events that may span multiple days (e.g. Hosstraders). Also, once selected a date can't be removed (or made blank), so I just decided to make this a text field.

Ideally, the State field should not be there, but I haven't figured out how to search for only a certain value. (Well, searching for a single value is easy, but constructing date values isn't that easy, and this is just a demo...)
