🌐 Quest Website Ecosystem for Events Overview (Google + The Events Calendar)

1. Organizational Structure

  • Quest (Parent Site):
    • Central hub, hosts the master calendar and shared coalition resources.
  • Humanists (Child Site): 
  Displays filtered Humanist events pulled from the master calendar.
  • Unitarians (Child Site):** 
  Shows Unitarian-specific worship, study, and outreach events.
  • PUB (Related Site):** 
  Independent but allied partner. Events can be included in the master calendar as a toggleable stream.
  • Community Calendar (Allies):** 
  Shared calendar for allied organizations. Allies can submit events through a moderated workflow.

2. Calendar Functionality

  • Google Calendar as Master Input:** 
  - All events entered into Google Calendar.  
  - Each event tagged by source (Quest, Humanists, Unitarians, PUB, Allies).
  • The Events Calendar (WordPress):** 
  - Displays Google Calendar events on each site.  
  - Provides filtering by tags (site/organization).  
  - Supports recurring events, venues, organizers.
  • Filtered Views:** 
  - Quest → full master calendar with filters.  
  - Humanists → Humanist-only events.  
  - Unitarians → Unitarian-only events.  
  - PUB → PUB-only events, toggleable.  
  - Allies → community calendar stream.
  • Community Submissions:** 
  - Allies submit events via the **Community Events add-on**.  
  - Moderation ensures quality and consistency.

3. Cross-Platform Integration

WP Event Aggregator Add-on:**

  - Syncs events between WordPress, Google Calendar, Facebook, and Meetup.  
  - Ensures coalition events reach wider audiences without duplicate entry.

4. Recommended Setup

1. **Google Calendar** → master input for all events. 2. **The Events Calendar plugin** → installed on WordPress sites. 3. **Community Events add-on** → allows allies to submit events with moderation. 4. **WP Event Aggregator** → pushes/pulls events to Facebook and Meetup. 5. **Filtered views configured** for Quest, Humanists, Unitarians, PUB, and Allies.

---

✅ Summary

This setup ensures:

  • One source of truth** (Google Calendar).
  • Filtered views** for each site.
  • Community participation** with moderation.
  • Cross-platform visibility** (WordPress, Facebook, Meetup).
  • Scalable growth** for coalition outreach.

👉 This is the streamlined path: **Google Calendar + The Events Calendar + Community Events + WP Event Aggregator.**

Would you like me to **draft a visual flow diagram** showing how events move from Google Calendar → WordPress → Facebook/Meetup → filtered site views? That would make this overview even easier to present.
