Does GNHLUG need Internet-enabled calendars?

A quick visit to http://www.cmsmatrix.org shows that many contenders 
(Drupal, Joomla!, Plone, TWiki) all are listed as having Event Calendars 
as an add-on. The feature breakdown doesn't get into the specifics of 
iCal, vCal, hCalendar, etc. which different users may want.

Attacking the problem from the other side, what are our requirements?

1. Easy for event coordinators to enter
2. Limited access for specific users (logins, access)? Spam/spoof/phish 
prevention.
3. Easily hacked data (text, MySQL, Postgres, etc.)?
4. Well-accepted format(s) for subscription and publishing (RSS, iCal, 
vCal, others?)? Who/what are we targetting?
5. Volunteer willing to install, configure and maintain?
6. As I posted, I've set up a dummy calendar in Google, just to see what 
it was like, and also subscribed to it. Let me check on what formats it 
accepts as incoming data.
7. On top of Ben's list, it sure would be nice if updating the calendar 
could trigger submissions to our media outlets, but like composing the 
announcements, I suspect this is a pipe dream...
