I want to note somewhere that there is this a very interesting and very similar project for an in-MediaWiki calendar, just called Events calendar. You can find it here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events_calendar
I like that project because its design is very similar to the Cronos one: we have both a Lua core, for example. This allow to view the calendar even without a gadget.
In the other hand, Cronos is actually 100% programmed in Lua and does not need a gadget to create an Event. In fact, we store the data in wiki pages, while that project stores the data in a (very huge!) JSON file that it's not easy to be edited manually to everyone:

The first steps now should be:
- import their cute structured events
- more synergy between us (they have a cute design!)
