  1. Q: How do I see a list of events that I need to act upon?

    A: There should be an overview of them all within easy reach once you're in the calendar.

    A: On the main calendar screen, it should say prominently 'there are n events that need action' (but only if there are any). There is a link to the more complete overview of all action-needed events, sorted by start date-time. (done, though rough)

  2. Q: How do I find out more about events that need action?
