This column was both painful and exhilarating to write. Painful because it forced me to reconsider long-standing assumptions. And exhilarating for the same reason!

@judell I'm considering something along the lines of elmcity for my neighborhood. I'm aware of the FAQ for that project, but is there a writeup on why it was terminated, lessons learned, pitfalls to be avoided etc., or something like that? I couldn't find anything on your blog site.
@udittmer Yeah I should do a writeup now that the lessons are finally coming into focus. Meanwhile, maybe just this: don't obsess about calendars, use datasette-extract to take whatever people can give you, in whatever format, publish in various human- and machine-readable formats, encourage but do not expect or require calendars and syndication.
