I run a German literary platform with xf1.3
Some of my users are authors or publishers. I want them to be able to add events to my site like "Meet your favorite author in Hamburg on June, 2nd".
Currently I use resource manager plus @Waindigo 's resource event as it is providing RSVP. Unfortunately, my users are skeptical about my event calendar. When I talked to them asking what they would need to use my sites event system more frequently they gave some very helpful input. This is the summary.
Are there any XF plans to offer an official event calendar enhancement ?

- as easy to use as facebook events which means...
- "what", "where" (ZIP code + city + location), "when" (start + end) fields on the create event form.
As far as I can see I already can do this with resource events and custom fields. - sort/filter events by ZIP code. This is essential for my needs because most events are only interesting for users living in a certain city.
- Calendar views for upcoming, weekly and monthly events
- Reminder functionality for joined events
- Permissions to tailor the output for certain user roles
- Nice to have, but not necessary: google maps to allow users to find the best way to the event location
