Implication: a calendar can support earlier coordination without presenting undecided plans as confirmed events.
Thesis
proposed dates become useful when a calendar can expose coordination in progress while keeping tentative events outside its confirmed-event surfaces.
Observed facts
Organizers enter at least two possible dates for a proposed event; times are optional.
1Proposed events are excluded from the main event list, ICS feeds, Discord notifications, and search, and are listed on a separate page.
1Logged-in users can vote Yes, If need be, or No; an authorized editor can schedule a date and close voting.

Mechanism
proposals are routed to a separate page and homepage banner, rather than the main event list, ICS feeds, Discord notifications, or search; an authorized editor later selects a date, closing the vote and moving the event into the regular calendar.
Why now
the feature addresses the interval in which a group is deciding when to meet, before a conventional calendar entry can be finalized.
Implications
a calendar can support earlier coordination without presenting undecided plans as confirmed events.
Evidence boundary
the source documents the feature’s described behavior but provides no usage data or outcomes.
Watch conditions
whether Meetable adds voting deadlines or organizer reminders, which the author says are not currently available.
