[MR] Online Event Announcements and Web Pages

I have to disagree with the person who keeps stating that the calendar
is online.  It's not always possible to have the information online
immediately.  As my group's webmistress, I use acorn.atlantia.sca.org
to fill in our calendar.  Frequently the information is just not
there.  (Not a complaint, merely a statement.)

I would like to see in the short-form announcements on the website a
link to the website for the event if there is one.  For example, I
only JUST got the link for crown tournament because it was posted to
the Merry Rose.

For some reason I was under the impression that Kingdom-Level events
got use of a redirect from the related URL to the webpage.  For
example, in this case, Crown's webpage was hosted on the Tir-y-don
site.  So, I would think that crown.atlantia.sca.org would redirect to
the Tir-y-don site (specifically the section/page that had information
on crown tournament).

In summary, I suppose my questions are:

1.  Could the short-form listing include a link to the web page for
the event (if provided)?

2.  Is there a reason why some Kingdom-level events use the redirect
and some don't?  It's not too hard generally to redirect a page to
another page/set of pages.

Thank you!
