The Hurricane's webmaster bought one that has since been discontinued because it didn't work properly, but he was able to hack it to our needs. I'm really interested to see what you use for the community calendar. Google Cal is the first that comes to mind, but it's not the best for community contributions.

Have you thought of doing something more about news tips? Maybe a way for people to submit tips via SMS? Breaking news often happens away from a computer -- and not everyone has an iPhone or BlackBerry! Also, let me know what you end up doing for the e-mail edition. As The Eagle moves off of CP, we'll have to rethink this one. Right now we're considering creating a template through our new CMS to put everything from each issue into an HTML page. We would copy source and then dump that into a mailer like PHPList. I really like all of your UGC ideas for this!
