Termin/Events Portlet vanishes if no event is due – "Add new Event Link" in the portlet footer is unreachable!

German text of the link is: "Termin eintragen..."

Workaround: Keep enough events in advance available ;-)

Simple Solution: Put the Link into a static portlet below that is always visible
Benefit: Can contain a more attractive Call-to-Action image like the ones provided by stefan here: http://www.plone.de/mitmachen
# Excourse on Community Content

To be considered: The Button "Termin erstellen on the "mitmachen" page is only suitable for users with account.
## Target is unauthorised users doing most of the work

The new form: is more aiming at people without already having an account to make it easy to enter event data in structured form suitable to automatically create Plone event type objects ready for publishing instead of having to decode prosa mails that may miss important information during limited time by hand.
## Final scenario:

Incoming event is already Plone event content and submitted automagically into the publication workflow:

```
* Just review and publish!
```
## Reduced work

And because the form takes care of the information entered with tipps useful even for unexperienced authors, the work for the community managers is reduced dramatically.
## Increasing Quality

In the past those bottlenecks resultetd in poor communication quality for our community. We need to simplify these processes and show up how we can use our own dogfood to zo outperform others! Anything else is poor attitude.

In the past a lot of interesting events are missed because they are notv on the radar or lacking information leads to bad coordination of date collisions. That can be reduced if it is easy to enter events in one shot!
