Hi Tobias,


I'd like to include in my newsletter a list of upcoming tango
festivals.

I first tried to grab and parse the content from http://www.tangofestivals.net/,
but it's irregular and the author does not respond on queries.

So now I started working on your data. I created an RSS parser
http://feed43.com/festivals-tango-info.xml, but it's a pity I cannot
find the complete from-to date in your page http://festivals.tango.info/
(there's an H2 for the month and then several days-of-month under
that).

So my question is: do you already have some kind of nicely formatted
syndication of that information? Preferably RSS or ICS.

Thanks!

Peter

I added festivals to

http://open.tango.info/

does this work with feed43?

Actually, I could create a better feed starting from http://eng.tango.info/festivals
CSV is nice, but I still have to see if there's an easy library to
work with those in PHP

the DPL extension could help for wiki based data:

http://wiki.tango.info/mul/Special:Call/Catlist?category=festivals&titlematch=2007%25&columns=1

I really like the wiki for the fact that all changes are archived.

But the editors have lot of freedom, which is negative in several aspects.
