Well, as to comp deadlines, I wasn't thinking to plug them all in right now, but since it's a online calendar, things can be put in as the year goes along. For example, when the Rotten Harvest is started, then put on the calendar that day "Rotten Harvest Begins" along with the a note on the day pictures are due for it.
Maybe even make it an "open" system, like Wikipedia, where Wyrd members can add events to it. So even I could add something like "XXX-convention held on Sept 10th at Somewhere, NW" I think we have enough responsible people of self-police it against any who would abuse it (it would be kinda of absurd to anyway). People could even add personal notes if they wanted to share with everybody, for example, if one of us was getting married, they could put in the wedding date.
Just an idea, after all, it's up to FF to really make any changes in that area.
