I know this is from two weeks ago, but I couldn’t use my iNat log in to get into the new forum. I just wanted to pop in and say that I’d love to see these improvements that @bouteloua suggested for the project calendar function of iNaturalist (adding maps, defaulting for shorter events).
I don’t think that page would be as good for meet-ups, so I think maybe a Meet Up category would be good. Topics organized by country? State/province? I see that it could be not as useful if it’s a large area covered.
