Group Calendar - Do you want to raid?

Group Calendar- It's one add on you are going to need to have if you ever want to hope to raid. First, some important things to note: there are many versions of Group Calendar floating around out there. We are going to try to keep up with the latest version, which means you need to as well. To see what version we are running, just check the guild information tab. The reason we all need to stay on the same version is that there can be discrepancies between the versions and what's viewable. Also, when you first log in, give it a couple of minutes to sync.

You might be asking what does Group Calendar have that the in game calendar doesn't? It allows the ability to add notes to a specific event. Notes such as, I'll be available for standby but I am going to be late to the raid. Configuration is fairly straight forward. There's automatic configuration available, and yes we use the guild channel.

You can find this mod using wowmatrix or on curse.com or wowinterface.com. I do know that the curse client does not find the latest version. Below is a screenshot of what group calendar looks like.
