This is a demonstration of how our Wiki can be more useful, making it easier for anyone to add a new event. (The "anyone" can be restricted using TWiki.TWikiAccessControl).

The operational concept is that each event has its own page, and that page has a form attached to it. There is one page (this one) that would search all those pages, and based on the form contents, put it in the upcoming or recent events list.

The example below uses topic names prefixed with "<nop>EventAnnouncement", and the following "special" topics:
   * TemplateForEventAnnouncement (which contains the initial content of the announcement - which the user should change)
   * FormForEventAnnouncement - which is appended to each new !EventAnnouncement... topic created by this form.
