Sorry for the confusion about who is allowed to create Team events. But
even with all team members allowed to create events, it means events
have to be created (and updated) on LD before being imported in a team's
own calendar solution.

I updated the bug title and description according to your comment.

** Summary changed:

- Allow team to import events from an external source
+ Allow team to import events from an iCal source

** Description changed:

- The Belgian LoCo Team already has an event calendar on its website. And
- I bet many LoCo Teams already have their own calendars managed through
- various solutions. Currently, the only way to add events to the LoCo
- Directory is to add have a team admin to add them manually.

  This means that if such a team want to maintain it's calendar on the
  LoCo Directory and duplicate it on its own website, events must be added
- to the LoCo Directory by a team admin then import these events in their
- own solutions using the LoCo Directory API. Which require custom code
- since the LoCo Directory doesn't expose the events information in a any
- standard format.

+ the LoCo Directory doesn't expose the events information in a any
+ importable standard format.
  
  It would be nice to have the option to import events and, as a side
  effect, venues from external sources.
  
  It would probably increase usage of the LoCo Directory as a central
  community agenda. It also allow the LoCo Directory events management to
  be kept simple while enabling teams to use more powerful tools if wanted
  or needed.
  
  It's likely that most solutions used by LoCo team support iCal export to
  stable URLs so this could be used as input format.
