I would install something like www.calendarscript.com and that lets you
allow different levels of access for adding events. As for uploading
their own calendars, have them create .pdf files and upload to their own
user web space. You could have a cron move their file, as long as they
always keep the name the same, on a regular basis to the main directory,
or you can just link to www.nomealaska.org/users/username/file.pdf

I also have a PHP script, if the file they upload is .html or any text
extension, that will pull the file they upload and include that content
in another URL. It will also look for specific beginning and end tags so
you can give them a template with <!--begin--> and <!--end--> and have
them create the content to be included between those tags. Or, if they
upload a .txt HTML file with no head or ending body and html tags, you
can just use .shtml to include the file in another page so they don't
need root web access.
