Thanks, folks! The showcase archives help immensely.
The site architecture would be pretty standard-- I didn't mean to give the impression that it would primarily be a calendar but a functional and user friendly calendar module is essential.
Some things that are basic needs:
-robust and user-friendly interface that makes it hard to have mismatched fonts and things that don't line up visually
-Multiple contributors with adjustable access levels
-if possible, access by page or website section
-This is a website primarily for a Chicago effort but there will need to be pages/sections for "sister" cities, with their own event calendars.
-If users had their own profile pages, could set up their own blogs, and maybe even could "friend" each-other like on a social networking site it would be nice, but not essential.
-things like contact forms should be extremely easy to set up (assuming that's a given with any popular CMS, although I find it not user-friendly in drupal.)
Hope that helps . . .
