Pretty slick, Dickson.  Wouldn't it be totally transparent if Stan just linked
to it from the appropriate SAC webpage?

Ditto and more so for SAC's calendar page.  Also, which is more
complicated: a link to a calendar page or a link to a calendar page?
SAC's calendar page tries to load a PDF without first warning you.  I've
added Firefox extensions to block PDFs, so I get just an empty web page.
Acroread is a resource hog (which doesn't normally exit until the browser
quits) which is why I block PDFs.

Since the Kiko calendar is editable via a web browser, you don't need a
PDF creator nor a web page creator.

BTW - The PDF that's on SAC's calendar page has the wrong meeting date
for November.  So does: http://www.saguaroastro.org/content/Meetings.htm

View http://www.kiko.com/calendar/saguaroastro by the Month view.
