Our parish uses the (now, online/OnDemand) Parish Data System (PDS) software, including all facility and event scheduling.  We are also about to roll out a new Joomla-based website. 

Does anyone have a good method for calendar export from PDS?

The best I've found (with the documentation I've had so far) for exporting from PDS is HTML output.  I'd rather not have to write a script to use that output to create something a bit more portable (e.g. icalendar).

Thanks.

If nothing else, you could

If nothing else, you could use QueryPath (http://querypath.org/) to convert the HTML to something more portable/iCal-ish... but I've never used PDS; I don't know how good its output may be.

Advancing the faith.

I haven't used it before

I haven't used it before either. Do you know what calendar component you will use in Joomla? Even if you can export the calendar you will need to find a way to keep the two in sync which would be a nightmare I imagine.
