JP-
We have the same interest here at UNR. When I work with vendors and their calendars are not accessible, they often ask, "do you know of an accessible calendar we can look to for direction?" Below is what I've given to a few of them from a search I did about 6 months ago. I don't know if any of them found it helpful, but I share it here with you. I would really appreciate some feedback if these are or are not helpful resources and if you find anything in your search that I might be able to pass along to my vendors in the future.

Thank you,

-Mary

"As promised, here are some resources that may lead you in the right direction for an accessible calendar. Not being a developer myself, I would appreciate if you can let us know if you find any of these particularly helpful or not helpful so I can pass them along or not in the future. Thank you."

Looks like Stanford figured it out....
