I performed a long overdue update on our contrib modules here. I updated
- og
- pathauto
- event
- signup
- views
- image
Of these, og was the most radically changed i think. The email subscription feature should work better now.
Please let me know about any oddness.

+1 to your efforts
Just a brief thank-you for your efforts in keeping this site together, Moshe. Probably the best feedback I could provide is that I spend more time reading the posts here than drupal.org and the various mailing lists combined. With respect to the quality of individual posts, this site just seems to be turning out better organized.
Event filtering for iCal subscriptions?
Since you mention event in the updates, I thought I'd add this little feature request here....
It would be wonderful if we could enabling the filtering of the event calendar so we can subscribe automatically to events we want. For example, if I could subscribe my iCal to the Denver User Group and the Consultants' Conference Call events, that would make the calendar very useful. As much as I love to know about what's happening all over, I don't need the entire globe of Drupal in my iCal.

more detail needed
is this a setting in event.module? how do you see making this visible within the context of this site?
in geenral, i am not so fond of event.module and hope one day to use views and cck for events on this site. not sure if we have ical feed for views yet but we should.
Taxonomy filter
It's enabled under admin/settings/event.
I like event because it integrates with location and all node types. For a site today, I would use it with cck, associating event with a cck node type.
I don't see an advantage to shoving event features into cck (where presumably they would be available only to cck node types?) when they already exist. I'm curious why you don't like the event module?

Filter by OG
There is/was an og_calendar block that showed events only per group. That same block could theoretically filter by that. It's event module that would have to know about groups as well, I think, since iCal is tied in there quite tightly.
A views_ical would be great.
